Beschreibung

Birds do it, bees do it, even educated fleas do it ... Not falling in love, but counting. Animals and humans have been using numbers to navigate their way through the jungle of life ever since we all evolved on this planet. But this book will help you to do something that humans have only recently understood how to do: to count to regions that no animal has ever reached. The Little Ways to Live a Big Life Series!
