Description
From the tiny organisms thriving all around us to the invisible energy waves sending signals to our gadgets, the world is brimming with activity that we can't see.Some things can only be seen with the most powerful microscopes, while other things are just plain invisible. Did you know that hawks use ultraviolet light--invisible to humans--to see trails of pee left by mice so that they can find their next meal? Or that invisible magnetic fields are so strong they can suspend a frog in mid-air? Find out about the invisible worlds all around us, from tiny germs and bacteria to gases and gravity.Hear directly from a flea, a grain of rice, an amoeba, a gas-filled balloon, and loads of other first-person narrators as they guide you through an incredible world that you can't even see. Each comic page is packed with fascinating facts and big laughs.Written in Mike Barfield's hilarious style and accompanied by Jess Bradley's quirky and colorful comic-strip illustrations, Meet the Invisibles invites curious readers to marvel at the huge powers behind the tiniest phenomena.Also Available:
  • 9781837251063 A Day in the Life of Fossils, Fire and Other Fantastic Finds
