About this title

Synopsis

Plants and animals breathe for life—and they depend on each other. This book explains how air, water, and sunlight work together to keep living things thriving.

Readers discover the big idea that, while people and animals take in oxygen and release carbonic acid, plants and trees do the opposite: they absorb carbonic acid and give off oxygen. The result is a natural air cycle that helps every living thing stay alive. The book also explores how plants feed, grow, and build the substances they need from soil, water, and sunlight, using simple ideas and clear diagrams.

• How air and gases mix in rooms and why fresh air matters for health.


• How leaves trap sunlight to make food and release oxygen.


• The basic structure of plants and how they transport nutrients inside their tissues.


• Simple experiments and observations that show plants produce oxygen in daylight.

Ideal for curious young readers who want a practical introduction to natural history, botany, and physiology.

About the Author

In 1944, a country vicar, the Reverend W Awdry, wrote the stories he had been telling his two young sons about a group of engines with very recognizable personalities. In 1945, the first book featuring Thomas and the other Really Useful Engines was published, and in the 60 years since, the tales of these friendly engines have become beloved classics around the world.
