Description
Have you ever wondered what’s happening beneath your feet right now? While we’re busy walking, running, and playing above ground, there’s a whole secret world below the surface, full of tunnels, twisty burrows, and animals that have become experts at living underground. In this issue, we dig deep (literally!) to discover what these underground animals can teach us. Creatures like moles, meerkats, ants, and earthworms might not always be easy to spot, but they’re brilliant problem-solvers. They know how to stay cool when it’s hot, safe when danger is near, and connected to their families in dark, cramped spaces.
From teamwork and patience to clever engineering and resilience, these underground animals remind us that sometimes the smartest solutions are hidden where we least expect them. But that’s not all waiting for you in these pages! If you love mysterious stories and strange creatures, our Japanese Mythology feature will whisk you into a world of powerful gods, playful tricksters, and spooky yokai that explain how people long ago made sense of the world around them. It’s strange, fascinating, and full of imagination.
And if you’ve ever thought waiting a long time meant five minutes, prepare to be amazed! In World’s Oldest Living Things, we meet trees, animals, and even tiny microbes that have been alive for hundreds, thousands (or even millions) of years. Their stories show us how life can survive through change, challenge, and time itself. So grab a comfy spot, open your mind, and get ready to explore worlds above, below, and way back in time.
There’s always something new to discover when you stay curious!
