As a former home school parent & school librarian I found this book helpful. I like the layout, and important/difficult words are highlighted. There are eleven chapters covering water, endangered species, mountains and minerals, air and sky, woodlands, soil, pollinators, wetlands, coral reefs, the ocean, and the poles & global climate. The book also contains a glossary and links to online resources which, allow you to dig deeper. There are student activities and questions for thoughtful response. This book makes a great starting point for discussions, and I like the idea of different ecosystems offered in one book. Thoughtful text glorifies God as creator and challenges the reader to examine ways of being a good steward of the earth. The illustrations and layout are attractive for children, and even though I prefer a book that’s a little larger in size, I believe this is a good fit for small hands. It’s hard to find good science books that encompass so many topics in one edition, and a lot of thought has gone into this one. For my money, I’d say that this book packs a punch.
