"How many different kinds of living things are there on our planet? One, two, three, LOTS!"
There are living things everywhere, from the top of the jungle to the bottom of the ocean. The more that we look, the more we will find. The book is an excellent illustrated introduction to how rich biological diversity on the Earth is, how all living things are all interconnected in a big, beautiful and complicated pattern. It also touches upon important challenging issues facing biodiversity, not through a mouthful of words but through illustrations, such as land clearing, overfishing, deforestation, and also the consequences such as habitat loss, extinction and pattern disruption in the ecosystem. Furthermore, it highlights the role of human beings as part of the ecosystem and as the guardian of the biodiversity.
I love books by Nicola Davies. Her love for nature is apparent in her books. Although this is a non-fiction book, it is far from a boring textbook. I adore the simplicity of the language and the rich and colorful illustrations. It's excellent to encourage all of us to be aware and appreciative of the rich biodiversity that we have. Because, before we can take care of the Earth, we need to firstly admire and appreciate its beauty and richness.
Winner of 2018 Margaret Mallett Award for Children's Non-fiction.
