"Microscopic ‘mini-fauna’ rarely receives even a footnote in a most children’s books. Unseen Worlds attempts to put that right with a series of dramatic dioramas of everyday habitats and tiny, but no less charming, animals they contain ... Unseen Worlds delivers a simple message that resonates throughout: think small, understand big. It’s a jungle out there. Everywhere."
