Description
Enjoy the artwork in this book as your child learns about the variety of life on earth. The Tree of Life is compared to the leaves on a tree, and each leaf represents a different species - 1,750,000 of them. Read first about the five kingdoms into which living things are divided - Monera, Fungi, Protoctista, Plants, and Animals. Learn about just a few of the members of each kingdom and how the kingdoms fit into the tree of life and about some that are at risk. The idea behind this book is to make children aware of the vast array of life and their role in the Tree of Life - "We are its guardians, not its gardeners." As children learn more, they can be proactive in protecting the earth's habitats - a few suggestions are included in the book. This book is from a secular publisher, so it mentions humans being related to apes and that we all descended from bacteria. Whether you believe this or not, this book does remind us that all species are important and that we all have a responsibility to take care of life here on earth. 40 pgs., p/b. ~ Donna
