Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth
Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth | Nicola Davies
39 posts | 12 read | 2 to read
After magnifying the beauty of unseen organisms in Tiny Creatures, Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton turn their talents to the vast variety of life on Earth. The more we study the world around us, the more living things we discover every day. The planet is full of millions of species of plants, birds, animals, and microbes, and every single one -- including us -- is part of a big, beautiful, complicated pattern. When humans interfere with parts of the pattern, by polluting the air and oceans, taking too much from the sea, and cutting down too many forests, animals and plants begin to disappear. What sort of world would it be if it went from having many types of living things to having just one? In a beautiful follow-up, the creators of the award-winning Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes deliver an inspiring look at the extraordinary diversity of Earth's inhabitants -- and the importance of their preservation.

This book would be perfect in an early childhood classroom. The words and pictures are big and the text is easy to read.

This book was a great way for young children to visualize how diverse life on Earth is. Being young, many children probably believe there are only the animals at their home and the zoo int he world. This book demonstrated that all animals eat and that there are all sorts of animals in the world.

This non fiction book is all about the different living things on our planet. It goes between a cute poetic feeling text to short interesting facts about living creatures. This story has beautiful and colorful illustration of those living things. It bring attention to the book and to the information it presents. I loved how it tells a story but also has facts tied in

This is a simplistic way of teaching children so many different things about the world. The facts are accurate, however, simple enough for elementary students to understand.

This book allows children to look into what our earth is made up of and that there are so many diverse aspects to it. There is life living up high and down low, to the right and to the left, in the air and in the water, everywhere!! This book teaches students a good lesson that life revolves around in many places and that there are many other living things besides ourselves. Genre: Nonfiction; Published: 2017; Illustrator: Emily Sutton

The illustrations are out of this world. With attention to detail, there are so many animals hiding on each page and could be a fun game to play with kiddos.

Such a great informational book. I love the aspect of telling an important story, but having little fun facts along the way. The story teaches a valuable lesson to children about taking care of the earth and all species. I would love to have this book in my classroom.

Many: The Diversity of Life on Earth by Nicola Davies and illustrated by Emily Sutton, 2017. This is a wonderful nonfiction story that informs us of how beautiful and diverse our world is but also how we need to protect that diversity that we have. The illustrations are rich and as beautiful as what they depict and they really make the book engaging.
