Once in a Blue Moon

With this dazzling natural history book you can travel around the globe, and even into space, discovering the stories of nature's rarest events, and best-kept secrets! Each spread explores a different rare event, animal or phenomenon, from astronomical events like blue moons and supernovas, to plants that bloom only once every 10 years, and from rare animal species and habits to special weather like, giant snow balls, eerie St Elmo's fire and ball lightning. The story of each wonderfully rare subject is told by best-selling author Emily Hawkins and brought to life in glorious detail and color by illustrator Vlad Stankovic. Split out into five chapters (Amazing Space, Peculiar Plants, Unusual Animals, Weird Weather, and Unique Wild Places), there's something for everyone in this celebration of nature at it's most wild.
