Science lessons through nature’s details

Uncle Paul introduces three children to a broad range of natural phenomena, from ants’ underground communities and spiders’ webs to insect metamorphosis, storms, seasons, volcanoes, and earthquakes. The subjects connect close observation of insects with larger questions about Earth and the changing world. The description also highlights Fabre’s background in several sciences and his entomological work. This edition restores the original illustrations and presents the text in an easily readable format.

Book overview

Listen along as Uncle Paul converses with his three children, teaching them all about the world around us. Share the story of ants' underground city, the spider's suspension bridge, the caterpillars' metamorphosis. Unlock the mystery behind thunder, lightning, clouds, rain, the year and seasons, volcanos and earthquakes and much more.

Fabre was a popular teacher, physicist, chemist, and botanist, but is probably best knows for his findings in entomology (the study of insects). His writing about the lives of insects in biographical form is part of his enduring popularity.

This edition features all the original illustrations restored for modern printing along with easily readable text.
