These are planters which envy and admire naturally growing plants by watching them grow every day.

They wanted to change themselves from simply becoming old. They learned to improve themselves by watching the plants.

It took a long time to copy the way plants grow, but some little mistakes were made. Branches are a little strange and awkward and a flower grows at the end of a root.

Is Russia even real

I think it is necessary for me to transcribe what she’s saying because it is EXACTLY how I babytalk to my cat:

“Oh Stepa! So little – little Stepa! My little kiss, where’s my little kiss?? Where are my little fingers? Where are my little legs? Where are my little paws? Stepa!” *shakes his paw* “Say hello! Hello my little one! Hello!” *lies down on him* “Oh how nice, how warm. Good boy…”

October 30, 2009 – It’s trash day in space. Set against a gorgeous cloudscape, Japan’s unmanned H-II Transfer Vehicle, filled with garbage and unneeded items, leaves the International Space Station.

Enormous algae bloom in China

In this image, residents of the city of Qingdao in Shandong province, China, are walking along a beach. Seriously, this is a beach.

Starting in 2007, this area of China, a province on the coast of the Yellow Sea, has suffered the appearance of massive amounts of green algae. The algae, also known as “sea lettuce” is non-toxic, but it does choke off other marine life and drive away tourism as it begins to rot.

Once upon a slide…the first microbiology book for 5 year olds!

At last! No more bed time fairy tales about damsels in distress, princesses in pink and knights in white shining armor.

Move over Disney. This is a world we should be opening our kids up to. Steeped in reality. A world 1000x more exciting than those lands too far far far away, and it is all playing out under our very noses, inside our refrigerators, outside our back doors and throughout our own bodies.

Thank you to Nicola Davies (author) and Emily Sutton (illustrator) for this beautiful non-fiction children’s book that introduces young readers to microscopy.

I can’t wait to buy this for my nieces.

Let me know if you need help with the histological sequel ;)
