  • Hidden Hibernators

    Malcolm Penny

    Library Binding (Heinemann, Feb. 9, 2004)
    What is the only bird that hibernates? How cold can a hibernating mammal become? What is estivation? In colder countries, winters can be very harsh and food is difficult to find. Many animals survive by sleeping until better weather returns. Hidden Hibernators looks at the variety of ways hibernators prepare for hibernation and how a hibernating animal’s body changes as it sleeps. The book also examines how some animals in hot countries hide away and sleep in summer to avoid drying out.

  • Perfect Partners

    John Woodward

    Library Binding (Heinemann, Feb. 9, 2004)
    What is symbiosis? Why do termites keep fungus gardens? Why do bumblebees feed from snapdragon flowers? Living together is usually safer than living alone. Perfect Partners looks at how different species come together and take what they need from each other, often forming partnerships for life. Some animals are partners with algae that make food for them. Other animals have bacteria living inside them to help digest their food. Many plants need animal partners for pollination and to spread their seeds.

  • Fantastic Feeders

    Tim Knight

    Library Binding (Heinemann, March 26, 2003)
    How does a pitcher plant feed? What are insectivores? What is a ruminant? Feeding is an essential part of life for both animals and plants. Eating habits may vary widely, but all animals and plants need food to grow and reproduce. Fantastic Feeders looks at different methods of feeding. Some animals will eat almost anything, while others are very fussy eaters. Plants often have to find clever ways to get the nutrients they need. Plants and animals are experts at finding, and sometimes catching, the type of food they like best.
