  This new series encourages children to look closely at nature and helps them to understand how nature works from what they see. The reader can turn nature detective in the garden, in the town, in the country or by the sea. The books focus on the clues that young readers are most likely to find, from feathers and footprints to berries and seeds. The clues act as starting points to introduce the reader to the lives of the plants and animals that left the clues. This book looks closely at the flowers, leaves and fruits of different types of plants, from garden flowers to wild flowers, water plants to trees so that young readers will discover how plants germinate and move through their life cycles. Their adaptation to different habitats and the part they play in various eco-systems is also investigated.
