Art Under the Microscope: Discovering the Scientific World with Artistic Eyes

"This wonderfully illustrated book bridges science and art in a way that will draw the attention of children of all ages."

Kathy Flores, Principal of Westwood Charter Elementary School

Have you ever wondered what simple fruits and vegetables look like when magnified 100 times bigger? We did--and we wanted to see for ourselves! The thought of taking a peek into the world of cells sparked our interest, so we took a selection of plants to a UCLA campus to view under a microscope. And just for fun, we took the microscopic images, crafted them into creative doodles, and gathered them into a book for everyone to enjoy.

Art Under the Microscope: Discovering the Scientific World with Artistic Eyes is suitable for all ages and:

• features amazing photos accompanied by detailed scientific descriptions paired with unique art adaptations
• is a fun way to learn the biology of plants and cells
• inspires budding scientists to discover and explore more than what the naked eye can see

Art Under the Microscope is full of interesting information while also being fun and easy to read! So what are you waiting for? Open the book and you open a door to a microscopic realm of nature and beautiful wonders.
