Up in the Air celebrates nature in a different way! By encouraging children to look, listen and observe the world above and around them. From the patterns of clouds to the constellations, the cacophony of the dawn chorus to the individual chirrup of a sparrow, the butterflies tha...t flutter and the rustle of the leaves in the trees, this beautifully illustrated book encourages children to look, listen, and feel the nature all around them. It looks at the habitats above our heads - the towering forests around the world that help create the air that we breathe, the animals that live above and around us in the trees and the animals that fly through the air - birds, insects, and bats. It also develops sky-watching skills - from reading the patterns of the clouds, to looking at the night sky. The book also has a strong conservation message - the animals and plants that live above us are vital for the planet - whether they are pollinating plants or keeping our atmosphere clear. Read more
