Step Gently Out

Step Gently Out

<b>Stunning close-up photography and a lyrical text implore children to look more closely at the world around them.</b><br><br><i>Be still, and watch a single blade of grass.<br>An ant climbs up to look around.<br>A honeybee flies past.</i><br><br>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.
