A dazzlingly illustrated and child-friendly introduction to biodiversity, Tree of Life shows how living things are classified into five kingdoms — and how each has much to tell us about all aspects of life on our planet.#Tree of Life is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

AWARDS & REVIEWS

Reviews

"Tree of Life is beautifully designed, and Thompson’s realistic pictures bring the Earth’s creatures vividly to life. ... some of the vocabulary will prove challenging for readers as young as eight. Older children will nevertheless find this a wonderfully helpful resource."

Quill & Quire, 01/07/2004

"This introduction to the five kingdoms of living things does an excellent job of helping young readers understand how scientists organize and classify all living things. ... Large-sized, both handsome and useful, this is an outstanding collaboration of author and illustrator."

Kirkus Reviews, 01/08/2004

"Striking, lucid, and deceptively simple."

School Library Journal, 01/10/2004
