{"product_id":"a-world-in-a-drop-alvin-silverstein-9780486403816","title":"A World in a Drop of Water: Exploring with a Microscope","description":"Within every drop of pond water lurks an invisible world, alive with an amazing variety of microscopic animals. 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.\u003cbr\u003eYou'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.\u003cbr\u003eWith 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alvin Silverstein, Virginia Silverstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0486403815\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780486403816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dover Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.93h x 6.35w x 0.21d","brand":"Alvin Silverstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44049031463167,"sku":"9780486403816","price":6.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e8dadf95-d58b-4318-9d50-12434078eca9.jpg?v=1684999213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-world-in-a-drop-alvin-silverstein-9780486403816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
