A life cycle displays the stages in the life of a living thing. Animals are born, grow into adults that can have their own babies, and eventually die. The babies grow into adults and have more young, and so the cycle continues. Plants have similar cycles. Readers uncover the various stages of animal and plant life cycles throughout this volume, as they apply it to their growing understanding of both kingdoms. Full-color photographs bring readers directly into the life cycles, as accessible text and helpful diagrams are paired to create an immersive and visual experience.
