It is a factual book.This book is about the invisible wonders of our world is engaging, informative and attractively presented. Each chapter covers a different topic, including microwaves, ultraviolet light, infrared light, electromagnetism, ultrasound, infrasound and scent. The properties of these unseen phenomena are explained, along with some examples of how they occur in nature, and ways in which humans use them. We discover that butterflies have ultraviolet spots on their wings to send signals to attract mates; hammerhead sharks use sensors in their head to pick up electromagnetic signals from the movement of their prey; and infrasound waves enable elephants to find other herds, warn of predators and attract mates, as well as helping geologists to predict when volcanoes may erupt and enabling conservationists to track migration. I recommend this book.

I like it because it teaches you things and stuffs that you don’t see, but it is very useful and important to us. I would recommend it to anyone.

This is about things that we can not sense. Here are some facts: 1. Doorbells use electromagnetism to make noise. 2. Toasters use infrared to cook bread. 3. Duck-billed platypuses are the only land animal who have an electromagnetic sensor. 4. Bats use ultrasound so that they don't bash into things. 5. The Greater Wax Moth can hear higher-pitched sounds than any other animal on earth. 6. Orcas and sperm whales use ultrasound to find prey.

This book is non fiction. This book is about cosmic waves , mysterious forces and things you cant hear or see. My favourite fact from the books is about infrared, you can use infrared to make toast or by pressing the tv remote to change channels. Also geologists use infrasound to work out when volcanoes might erupt. I do like this book because it tells us about different rays and i like learning about science.
