description: Stunning close-up photography and a lyrical text implore children to look more closely at the world around them.Be still and watch a single blade of grass.An ant climbs up to look around.A honeybee flies past.What would happen if you walked very very quietly and looked ever so carefully at the natural world outside? You might see a cricket leap a moth spread her wings or a spider step across a silken web. In simple evocative language Helen Frost offers a hint at the many tiny creatures around us. And in astonishing close-up photographs Rick Lieder captures the glint of a katydid's eye the glow of a firefly and many more living wonders just awaiting discovery. Fascinating facts about all the creatures pictured may be found at the end.
