And with the help of this book and a microscope, you can bring these tiny creatures into focus and discover the ways in which they live.You'll trace the path of a blob-like amoeba as it stretches out its pseudopods to hunt and gobble up its prey, and you'll see the life-or-death water ballet of a slipper-shaped paramecium as it swims away from its mortal enemy, the pincushion-shaped suctorian. You'll also meet the euglena, classified as both plant and animal; the rotifer, a creature with two wheels of whirling hairlike projections that help it move by squeezing in and out like an accordion; and the incredible hydra, a fearsome bully that constantly threatens other small animals with its crown of grasping tentacles.With this book, your key to the world of single-celled organisms, you'll learn fascinating lessons about how these strange animals eat, reproduce, and defend themselves. Enter their microscopic domain and see for yourself!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51972080206112,"sku":"NEW0486403815","price":8.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81s3jXfexlL.jpg?v=1783791375","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/a-world-in-a-drop-of-water-exploring-with-a-microscope-dover-science-for-kids-0486403815","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
