Planet Earth News Presents

Nature Shockers

By Thomas, Keltie & Hall, Greg

Publishers Summary:
"THIS JUST IN: Boat Swallowed by Ocean Belch . . . Hungry Plant Snaps . . . Earth Grooves to Loony Tunes." Inspired by wacky tabloid headlines, Nature Shockers is an exposé of nature’s wonders, a tantalizing accumulation of scandalously true facts. Author Keltie Thomas digs deep for the dirt on baffling landscapes, dives into the dark secrets of the mysterious deep sea, and breaks through the shell of silence around the world of insects. Special features include "Hoax Busters," which test readers’ savvy in separating fact from fiction, and "Fiction vs. Reality," comparing Hollywood special effects with the forces of nature. Greg Hall’s eye-catching illustrations and punchy tabloid design make this fun for even reluctant readers.
