Through the animal kingdom by Derek Harvey
Illus. by Charlotte Pepper. DK, Penguin Random House, 2019. ISBN:
9780241355442.
Recommended for library collections for younger Primary students.
Themes: Animals, Environment. In this book the globe and all
continents are traversed, revealing the animals that reside in
various environmental regions in the world from the Arctic Tundra to
Antarctica. With small paragraphs to describe behaviour or
adaptations that enable survival, this is a book that provides an
overview only, with little benefit for inquiry learning or research
for younger students.
The illustrations by Charlotte Pepper combine collage and
photographic representations to realistically represent the
environment and array of animals that can be seen in the different
habitats.
