Inhaltsangabe

From the creative team that brought us Where in the Wild? and Where ELSE in the Wild? come 10 new mysteries of the natural world for readers to solve. Kid-pleasing riddles paired with mystifying images give clues to guess: What creature made that pile of twigs, mass of leaves, frothy spittle, and so on...And why? As with the other books, answers are found by opening a generous gatefold and revealing full-color photographs.

Sample poem:

Lumpy Mounds

These lumpy mounds upon the ground, you may not recognize.
They're left behind once we have dined—that's how we fertilize!
We're long and lithe, we wriggle and writhe; of dead things we dispose.
We daily toil to plow the soil, and help stuff decompose!
_____________

What are they?
They're earthworm castings.

Sample "naturalist note" to support photos after creature is revealed:
Long and thin, squirmy and moist, lowly earthworms do mighty work. By spending their days 'worming' through the earth, wiggling and wriggling right and left, they work the soil much like a plow. That alone is a big job, but earthworms do even more. They are "decomposers"—creatures that consume dead plants and animals. The health of our planet depends on the work of decomposers.
