~ Oblong Paperback (25.5 x 20cm)
There's more to time than the tick of a clock! In just a second a bat makes two hundred high-pitched calls, a hummingbird beats its wings fifty times, a woodpecker hammers a tree trunk with its beak twenty times, a human can blink seven times, and a vulture in flight flaps its wings once . . .
A fact-filled picture book, Just One Second connects increments of time to animal activities and other events in the natural world in amazing ways (some directly observable and others not) to create an engaging, interactive look at time.
"This subtly philosophical examination of time, scale, and the mechanics of life is all but certain to leave readers reconsidering the world and their place in it." -- Publishers Weekly
