Reviews for The Wild World Handbook : Habitats

Beautifully illustrated....An entertaining and educational book for environmentally conscious nature lovers that will inspire action. --Booklist Well-designed and smartly organized...providing inspiration that proves that all types of people can enjoy and protect nature. --Kirkus Reviews Hopeful, even as it leaves no stone unturned on the path to mitigating grave ecological issues like climate change, deforestation and overfishing...The result leaves readers -- whether middle grade or middle-aged -- informed, inspired and, most importantly, empowered. --Madison Magazine For the quieter kid, or perhaps for an Earth-minded child who may need to stay indoors for part of the summer...With more facts, less adventure, this book offers ecology-based biographies, activities to do indoors, fun facts, places to visit, and information about our world. --Terri Schlichenmeyer
