This is a rich and wonderful book, essential for any setting that wants to encourage children to love nature. With a tree as the starting point, readers are taken through the processes of photosynthesis and respiration, explained at an age-appropriate and accessible level. How the planet has changed over time and where different wildlife live are also covered. It finishes with a simple explanation of global warming and the importance of protecting the natural world. This is a brilliant work for supporting children’s understanding of the world.
Younger readers will need some help due to the inclusion of scientific words, but these are followed by simple and age-appropriate explanations.
