Reviews

"Following a pair of review quizzes (answers, refreshingly, not provided in a separate key), [the] special feature--a one-sided, 6-foot-long, accordion-folded timeline studded with painted depictions of around 100 identified specimens, select landmark events such as the K-T extinction and the appearance of an early farmer." --Kirkus Revews

"Author, Nick Forshaw, and illustrator, William Exley, have teamed up once more and created another exceptional informational text to add to their What On Earth Explorer Series. This time they focus on 'Plants' ... The coverage of the material is thorough and well-designed for the inquiring minds of students in Grades 3 to 7." --Youth Services Book Review

"This book is a treasure and can be read pictorially by younger readers and in more depth by others." --Manhattan Book Review

"From plant origins, to plant discoveries, each four page chapter is full of facts and detailed sketches illustrating the text. After seven chapters, the book has a fun matching game, and a plant quiz, to see if you've been paying attention. The book ends with a fabulous six-foot timeline of plants ... This book is full of informational text and ideal for late elementary to early middle grade readers." --Oregon Coast Youth Book Preview Center
