Features: This book mainly tells the story of biology. Biology is very close to children, with all kinds of flowers, trees, birds, animals, and insects in their daily environment. Children love the liveliness and cuteness of biology. But, children, do you know the hidden stories behind these creatures' lives? They are very interesting! If you ask more questions like "why," you will see the magic hidden beneath the ordinary. Children, you often see bamboo, but have you ever thought about why bamboo rarely flowers and bears fruit? Why does it grow so fast from a shoot to a bamboo? And how does bamboo reproduce? Children, everyone loves beautiful orchids, but what makes them unique? How do they pollinate? What are the characteristics of orchid seeds? Have you thought about these questions? Figs, as the name suggests, seem to bear fruit without flowers, but is that possible? Most fruits, like peaches, oranges, tomatoes, watermelons, etc., bloom before they bear fruit! Can you solve this mystery like the children in the book? In daily life, everyone dislikes leeches (scientific name: Hirudo), and wounds bitten by leeches are easily infected. But, children, do you know that they also have many uses? Children, science is not dry and rigid dogma for you, but a vibrant paradise. When you approach nature with innocent curiosity and step into the gate of science, you will surely roam in the colorful world, feeling immense excitement and joy, and gaining knowledge and wisdom.
