A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

How wild is New York City?
 
Well, you can ride a subway car through giant cracks in the Earth. Watch monarch butterflies floating among skyscrapers on their annual trip from Mexico to Canada. Drink mountain rainwater piped a hundred miles through some of the world’s biggest tunnels. Spy on horseshoe crabs (that showed up on Earth before the dinosaurs) as they crawl up to lay their eggs on city beaches every June.
 
And that’s all just for starters.
 
Open this book and discover a side of New York City you never dreamed was there—go wild!
 
“Go Wild in New York City is a wonderful idea. It can bring light and the excitement of adventure to children in the real world where most live and draw them to science education. I got my start as a biologist on 'expeditions' in the heart of Washington, DC, when I was nine years old, and would have been inspired by this book.”—E. O. Wilson, biologist and winner of the Pulitzer Prize for On Human Nature and The Ants
 
“This imaginative book introduces children to the bounty of New York City and its earthly treasures—the waterways, natural resources, and wildlife that bring it to life. New York is brimming with science in the most unexpected places. What a wonderful resource for families, teachers, and backyard explorers of all ages.”—Joan Ganz Cooney, cofounder of the Children’s Television Workshop and cocreator of Sesame Street
