SLJ Review of Life on Earth! Biodiversity Explained
This series describes biomes with a focus on preservation. The connectivity of each organism in the biome is stressed, em- phasizing the importance of caring for the Earth. A sense of urgency is conveyed, with abundant facts for researchers that make it perfect for school assignments. Important words are in bold and there is a glossary at the back of the book. An index, preservation tips, further learning, and “About the Au- thor” are also included. The cover and lay- out resemble many other well-constructed nonfiction books, with colorful photos and overlaid text boxes. However, the writing ex- cels at delivering important information in an engaging manner without being verbose. VERDICT A solid choice for libraries looking to enlarge or update their biome collections.
