Synopsis

This volume presents a range of unusual microscopic creatures, including a blob-like amoeba, a slipper-shaped paramecium and the suctorian described as its mortal enemy. Clear, accessible language explains how these animals feed, reproduce and defend themselves, making complex behaviour easier to understand.

With its microscope-led approach and illustrated content, it is focused on children.
