Product Description
From the creators of the Caldecott Honor Book Song of the Water Boatman and Other Pond Poems…
Ubiquitous (yoo-bik-wi-tuhs): Something that may be (or appears to be) far and wide at the same time.
Why is the beetle, born 265 million years ago, still with us today? (Because its wings mutated and hardened). How did the gecko live on 160 million years? (by becoming nocturnal and developing sticky toe pads.) How did the shark and the crow and the tiny ant live on millions and millions of years? When 99 percent of all life forms on this planet have turn into extinct, why do some live on? And live on not just in one place, but in many places: in deserts, in ice, in lakes and puddles, inside houses and forest and farmland? Just how do they turn into ubiquitous?
