What Lives Under the Carpet?

Everything you ever wanted to know about the world of creepy-crawlies, bugs and insects in and around your home. Take a good look under your bed, in your loft, and even under the floorboards - there's a whole zoo down there! You can't see or hear much, but something's sure to be lurking. In fact, wherever you live in the world, you share your living space with thousands of tiny (and not so tiny!) creatures. Discover the animals galore that creep into the corners and crevices of your kitchen, bedroom or cellar: giant centipedes, blood-sucking mosquitoes and enormous, hairy spiders. The book includes superb electron microscope photographs, showing insects in magnified and terrifying detail. // Packed with a wealth of superbly magnified colour photos and written in a grippingly authoritative style, this book introduces children to the fascinating domain of bugs and insects. Each title contains fact boxes, games and quizzes.
