Ideas from Nature is a simple early reader book featuring different aspects of nature that engineers and inventors have copied for people to use.
The clear photos illustrate ideas such as hook-and-loop closures (like Velcro) and the burrs that inspired them, snakes and snake-bots which have a few different uses, architecture shaped like a giant flower, and more.
This is a great way to inspire kids to look around at the ingenuity present in nature, as they grow in confidence with reading.
