★拉一拉，看一看，11個有趣的拉動機關★★讓孩子在拉動的互動中，探索豐富的知識★★輕鬆知道氣候變遷對於地球的影響★真的想知道好多好有趣的事情，讓我們發現氣候變遷的謎題，拉一拉，快來看看裡面有什麼吧！◆六大主題，一次搞懂氣候變遷的成因與影響 氣候是不是正在改變？是的！地球的氣溫越來越高，降雨量越來越不穩定，極端氣候事件也越來越頻繁。早在幾千萬年前，一顆隕石墜落就曾引發劇烈的氣候變遷，導致恐龍滅絕。這些被埋藏在地底數百萬年的恐龍遺骸，後來變成了我們今天使用的化石燃料。然而，正是因為大量燃燒這些燃料，產生了導致氣候變遷的溫室氣體！ 為什麼氣候會發生改變？人類的活動是關鍵原因之一！像是工廠和汽車排放的廢氣、大量畜牧業產生的甲烷，以及大規模砍伐森林，這些都在不斷地破壞大氣平衡，加劇氣候變遷的速度。 溫室效應地球就像一間大溫室，陽光穿過大氣層照射地表後，部分熱能會被困在大氣中，這種現象稱為溫室效應。適當的溫室效應對地球有益，但當溫室氣體過量，就會導致氣溫上升，引發各種氣候災難。 恐怖的伐木問題森林是地球的綠色守護者，能吸收二氧化碳、釋放氧氣，維持生態平衡。但每年因非法伐木與過度開發，大片森林正在消失，這不只加劇氣候變遷，也讓許多動植物失去棲息地。 南北極的危機南北極的氣溫上升，導致冰層融化，北極熊、企鵝等極地動物面臨生存危機。海平面上升也威脅著全球的沿海地區，許多島國正面臨被海水淹沒的危險！ 保護我們的地球保護地球，其實從日常生活中的小動作就可以開始！減少使用塑膠製品、隨手關燈、搭乘大眾交通工具……每一個簡單的選擇，都有可能為地球帶來不一樣的改變！ ◆11個拉動機關，促進觸覺發展滑動機關的動作可以訓練孩子的手部肌肉，藉以訓練孩子的觸覺發展。此外，當孩子拉動機關的時候，就可以看見精心設計的圖案，圖案的前後變化可以讓孩子直觀感受到書本要表達的知識！◆淺顯易懂的文字，養成閱讀好習慣書中的文字簡單有趣，並附有注音，將複雜的氣候變遷解釋得非常清楚，讓孩子不僅輕鬆掌握豐富的知識，還能養成閱讀好習慣，強化語文能力。◆插圖色彩鮮豔，打造活潑的視覺享受本系列的插圖使用鮮豔的藍、黃、綠等彩度較高的色彩，以及透過各種圖形引導嬰幼兒的視線，幫助孩子逐步提升圖文認知。 ◆堅固耐翻、不易撕破厚紙板材質書頁皆採用厚硬紙板，並加以導圓角，不易撕破，也不易割傷，對孩子來說更安全。

A middle-grade graphic novel fantasy adventure filled with dark magic, druids, delicious desserts and dragons by award-winning author Carlos Sánchez!With Dai missing, Chiri is desperately rallying her fellow adventurers on a quest to find him. But with the darkness creating a fearsome army of creatures and planning on total domination of the kingdom, finding her best friend is starting to feel impossible.

The invitation is to the Obsidian Maze, the terrible place where Bruno Puddin sealed the first and most dreaded Darkness after it wreaked havoc on the land. Since the Shadow King is one of the Darkness' first children, Chiri and Dai are forced to come to terms with the fact that he's not the only bad guy after them now. The MidKnight is another of thes
