Great book, very interesting. My non-reader teenage son loves it and keeps re-reading it!

This book lays out a comprehensive review of Earth's various biomes; the struggles they are in to survive and what we can do to slow the process of destruction. The illustrations are beautiful and informative.

This book is beautifully illustrated and inviting. I had a fun evening perusing its pages and plan to use it to start discussions on ecology with my 13 year old daughter.

Bought this for an 8 year old who is really into science and nature. It held her interest for a while, but a lot of the book is technical and complex. As a result, she hasn't picked it up again in a couple of months. Once she's older, I'm sure it will be great.
