This book attempts to explain why rotting is so important to our environment and looks at what would happen if there were no bacteria and fungi to make food, leaves and wood rot. Simple experiments include growing moulds on lemon and bread and burying different materials. This book is one of a series which aims to encourage young children to look closely at their surroundings, ask questions about their discoveries and try simple experiments to find out how and why things happen.
