Beautiful Biodiversity from DK Super Planet guides young readers in a study of the multitude of species that live in our yards, gardens, cities, oceans, forests, grasslands, and more. From animals to plants to insects, the beauty of the natural world is emphasized as students read about life around the world and how humans can help protect it. Each topic covers just two pages and is explained with full-color visuals and short, easy-to-read text boxes, with prompts to dig deeper throughout. Everyday Science sections at the end explore medicinal plants, why they are at risk, and how readers can help. Two science experiments guide readers in attracting butterflies and watching mold form on old fruit (adult supervision required for both), and a Vocabulary Builder section offers a writing prompt. Glossary and index included at the end. 48 pages, softcover.
