REAL CREATURES, TRUE FACTS Every creature is a real species — the ladybird, the stag beetle, the blue morpho butterfly, the hermit crab and 100 more. When your child finds one, a friendly voice tells where it lives, what it eats and one amazing fact. Every fact was checked against trusted sources. WATCH THEM GROW Find the right bugs and a life cycle opens: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis, butterfly. 13 life cycles to discover — frogs, dragonflies, beetles and more. 11 WORLDS TO EXPLORE Garden, Pond, Forest, Night Garden with a flashlight, Flower Meadow, Jungle, Rocky Desert, Misty Mountains, Thai Beach, African Savanna and Australian Bush.
