About the book




This wondeful book is a perfect one to place into the hands of a young budding scientist.  It documents people who closely observe nature and then emulates the patterns and techniques they find into the human world.  

"Ideas From Nature" highlights birds, snakes, burrs and lizards.  It  showcases how things found in nature have inspired people to incorporate their great ideas into bullet trains, snakebots, Velcro and bandages, just to name a few.  It is always fun to discover how  amazing inventions have transpired.  

This non-fiction Beginning-to-Read book contains crisp, clear illustrations that will encourage kids to look around and become more observant to their surroundings as they interact with nature. The book contains high-frequency words, content vocabulary and activities to strengthen early science and literary skills.  I recommend this book and the whole "Read and Discover Science" series.
