Davies, Nicola Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth, illustrated by Emily Sutton. NONFICTION. Candlewick Press, 2017. $15.99.
Many uses illustrations and a minimal number of words to celebrate the wide diversity of life on Earth. A call to action at the end informs readers that many species have already gone extinct and encourages readers to ensure that the remaining ones are protected.
This book would work especially well for an Earth Day lesson or as an opener to a discussion on biodiversity and species inter-dependence. While the information is sparse, what is there is interesting, and the illustrations are gorgeous.
Pre-K, EL (K-3), EL (4-6) -- ADVISABLE. Reviewed by Sydney G., K-6 Library Media Specialist
