This book cracks open the science of life with over 400 fascinating facts, true stories of discovery, and questions that will get the whole family thinking.Here's a taste of what's inside: - How a frog can freeze solid in winter - ice crystals running through its body - and hop away in spring like nothing happened- Why your body contains roughly as many bacterial cells as human ones (and why that's actually a good thing)- The shrimp that punches so fast it boils the water in front of its fist- How a single fungus in Oregon grew larger than 1,600 football fields - making it the biggest organism on Earth- Why your heart will beat about 2.5 billion times in your lifetime, pushing blood through vessels that could wrap around the planet twice- The Venus flytrap that counts touches before it snaps shut - because wasting energy on a raindrop isn't worth itEach chapter opens with a true story about a real scientist and the moment everything changed.You'll meet Mary Anning - a girl who started selling fossils to feed her family and ended up rewriting what we knew about extinction.
