Life on Earth: Planet Earth

Life on Earth: Planet Earth is a really fun, educational learning experience. It is not simply a book of information. It is full of question flaps, that you can lift to see the answers. I think interactive books are an amazing way to learn and teach! The takeaway is always higher with interactive learning materials. 

Colourful and fun this book is fantastic and I will be on the lookout for any in this series for my kids.

Luckily I've seen other books in this series in real life, for it ain't no walk in the park, reviewing a lift-the-flaps book, when half of it – ie the under-flap lifty-up bits – are by design presented upside down.  This entry covers the world and everything a good geography book might, from the water cycle, to the relative size of the oceans, the population, and on to land use.  You won't be turning to it hundreds of times, and it remains to be seen how the flap lifty-up format would allow the book to survive in a school library, but these are bright and competent deliverers of factoids for the young – and this entry seemed to have a lot more than its sister, transport one.

A companion book to Things That Go. This is equally as perfect as a foundation book to everything that’s covered in Science and Geography. It will give a little one the perfect start.

It looks like a great book - but as it contains lots of question flaps it's difficult to experience that with an e-book.

This looks like a fun and interesting book, but I find it very difficult to evaluate the eARC of a lift-the-flap book. It is nearly impossible.

I also find a few of the facts questionable. Droughts have a lot of causes, and there are Australian possums who are marsupials.

Although it is difficult to evaluate the electronic ARC of a lift-the-flap book, this STEM book looks excellent, and I know from personal experience that children LOVE lift-the-flap books and information printed in bite-size bits, so I think this book will be a hit.

Lovely book to get the child started on a quest to know more about the planet. This is a great conversation starter on lot of subjects about the planet and was well received even in ebook format by the kid. 

We already have Things To Go from the series which we thoroughly enjoy reading at home.

"Life on Earth: Planet Earth," by Heather Alexander was a simple and informative children's book on earth and the various things you might find here. It is geared toward younger kids who would just be learning about new things such as waterfalls or mountains or coral reefs.

There are some beautiful illustrations for kids to look at, and as you go through the squares that outline facts to read through, there are lots of other senses to engage with your kids as you make sounds and describe the different ideas introduced.

The physical book is a "lift the flap" type book, which I didn't get to enjoy while I reviewed the eBook version.
