Life Cycles introduces how animals' lives can be very different, from 70-year-old elephants to adult mayflies that only live a few hours. It also looks at similarities too, such as how comparing a cuckoo and a cheetah illustrates how many animal parts are similar. Readers will gain a basic understanding of animal life cycles as they read about examples from all over the world.

The diverse species of plants and animals in our world give us amazing stories of growth, adaptation and survival. Readers are walked through everything they need to know about plants and animals - from specific topics such as plant and animal classification, to broader concepts such as the interconnectedness of all living things. Thoughtful and informative sidebars about the past, present, and future of life science will encourage readers to appreciate the world around them.
