Making earth science accessible and entertaining through art, maps, and infographics, The Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth explains how our planet works—and how we can protect it—from its diverse ecosystems and their inhabitants, to the levels of ecology, the importance of biodiversity, the cycles of nature, and more. Science- and nature-loving readers of all ages will delight in this utterly charming guide to our amazing home. Review: A fantastic choice for practically any age - I love Rachel Ignotofsky's books and this is no exception. Her books feature fantastic, detailed, diverse illustrations that are detailed but also at times whimsical and fun. Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth itself strikes a great balance between information-dense descriptions of geographical systems and plant and animal biology, and simpler explorations of these concepts. The result is that you can introduce young children to these concepts using basic terms and examples and let them visualize the ideas through the artwork, while older children will benefit from the more extensive narratives. Highly recommend. Review: Excellent Used Condition Purchase - My daughter originally picked this one up at the library and we were immediately hooked!
