Tardigrades are one of the toughest creatures in nature! These tiny little animals, nicknamed 'moss piglets' or 'water bears', have incredible survival superpowers.

They've been found in astonishing places, from the top of a mountain to the bottom of an ocean. They've even survived a trip into space!

Tardigrades: Nature's Toughest Survivors showcases these astounding little creatures and their remarkable ability to survive.

Reading level varies from child to child, but we recommend this book for ages 6 to 9.
