## Description

The Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth: Understanding Our World and Its Ecosystems [Ignotofsky, Rachel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth: Understanding Our World and Its Ecosystems

Review: A fantastic choice for practically any age - I love Rachel Ignotofsky's books and this is no exception. Her books feature fantastic, detailed, diverse illustrations that are detailed but also at times whimsical and fun. Wondrous Workings of Planet Earth itself strikes a great balance between information-dense descriptions of geographical systems and plant and animal biology, and simpler explorations of these concepts. The result is that you can introduce young children to these concepts using basic terms and examples and let them visualize the ideas through the artwork, while older children will benefit from the more extensive narratives. Highly recommend.
Review: Great teaching tool for an intro to ecology course - This is a delightful and easy to understand book that is well organized and presents the most important elements of ecology. It describes many ecosystems, their importance and how human activity is altering and even threatening their existence. It covers concepts like succession, various cycles in nature (water, oxygen, carbon, etc.), interactions between species and between species and their environments. Diagrams, illustrations, and a glossary are nice additions to the well-written text. This would be appropriate for middle and high school (as well as some advanced grade schoolers). I also think many adults would alsoenjoy this book and learn quite a bit about ecology and its importance to our lives. Very engaging and a fun read!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely snapshot of the ecosystem
*by C***R on April 13, 2019*

I have included a picture of the table of contents to show what ecosystems are listed. Likes: Biome map introduction Biome map of each continent A picture of the living things and how they interact in the ecosystem Highlights one animal from each ecosystem Highlights the biggest benefits Highlights the greatest threat Some interesting facts related to the ecosystem Glossary terms How we can help Pictures are beautiful Talks about cycles of nature Cons: More like just a snapshot Not a ton of detail for many animals If you are conservative it does mention Big Bang theory and millions of years Some of the pictures with cycles can be slightly hard to follow for younger ones Overall I do like this book. I initially got it hoping it would be fun for the drawings for my third grader who loves to draw. I think the text is easy enough for her to possibly read on her own. We are homeschoolers and going through the ecosystems right now And like that this is concise enough to give her the general idea without overwhelming her. If your children are older and need more information for reports and assignments then I would likely recommend getting another type of book. This is more like snapshot of the ecosystems but is nice how it sorts all of them by continents.
