"What better way to portray bioluminescent creatures of the sea, earth, and sky than in a glow-in-the-dark book? Scientific researcher Marâia Emilia Beyer reveals the truth about these animals that produce their own light using special substances, as well as how they use this ability to search for food, defend themselves from prey, communicate, and find a mate. Readers will find eight species of bioluminescent plants and animals and can turn out the lights to see them in all their splendor--and read special hidden text!"--Provided by publisher.
