{"product_id":"ubiquitous-celebrating-natures-survivors","title":"Ubiquitous: Celebrating Nature's Survivors","description":"From the creators of the Caldecott Honor Book Song of the Water Boatman and Other Pond Poems comes a celebration of ubiquitous life forms among us. Newbery Honor-winning poet Joyce Sidman presents another unusual blend of fine poetry and fascinating science illustrated in exquisite hand-colored linocuts by Caldecott Honor artist Beckie Prange.\n\nUbiquitous (yoo-bik-wi-tuhs): Something that is (or seems to be) everywhere at the same time.\n\nWhy is the beetle, born 265 million years ago, still with us today? (Because its wings mutated and hardened). How did the gecko survive 160 million years? (By becoming nocturnal and developing sticky toe pads.) How did the shark and the crow and the tiny ant survive millions and millions of years? When 99 percent of all life forms on earth have become extinct, why do some survive? And survive not just in one place, but in many places: in deserts, in ice, in lakes and puddles, inside houses and forest and farmland? Just how do they become ubiquitous?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0618717196\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0618717196.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sidman, Joyce\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
