The Three Hungry Microbes | 2 x 100-Piece Puzzles
Explore the hidden magic of soil and composting through two playful, story-driven adventures.
About the Illustration: This special box set features two fun, vibrant scenes based on the children’s book The Three Hungry Microbes by Cuifen Pui and Dorcas Tang.
