The woods are full of puzzles to be solved, clues to be found.
Inspired by this book's hints and fun-filled experiments and activities, and using only simple equipment, young readers unlock the closely guarded secrets of the woods--from the strange meetings of lazy butterflies, to the miraculous ``walking`` of a twig, to the riddle of why the leaves turn color and fall.
One small square at a time, these ``detectives`` plunge deeper and deeper into ancient mysteries--without ever getting lost.
Beautifully illustrated, Woods offers a picture field guide, a glossary-index, and a resource list.
