Something wonderful
(Book)

"This is a place that hums with life. All the world's living things depend on healthy forests. They are home to so many amazing plants and animals, all depending on each other. Open this book and dive into the strange interwoven life cycles of fig trees, the wasps that live inside them, and the beautiful creatures that eat them. Everything is connected"--Book jacket flap.

This educational and interactive picture book immerses the reader in the strange and interwoven lifecycles of the rainforest. The beautifully illustrated pages follow the journey of a fig seedling making its own roots and leaves, growing strong, and eventually replacing the giant tree that was its host. As it produces flowers and fruit, it attracts pollinators. A delectable fig is hungrily eaten by a passing toucan who, upon flight, aimlessly drops a seed into the treetops below, beginning the fig's lifecycle once again. - -,Source other than the Library of Congress.
