Beschreibung des Verlags
Young readers can learn how to be modern-day Noahs and protect the world’s plants and animals from extinction not by building a giant boat, but by making small changes in their everyday lives --- from planting trees to turning off the tap --- to help preserve the world’s biodiversity. Planet Ark is part of CitizenKid™, a collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
"In many ways, our beautiful blue home planet Earth is like an ark sailing through the universe," writes Mason, drawing an analogy between the story of Noah's Ark and Earth's biodiversity in this thorough and informative addition to the CitizenKid line. Discussions of food chains, habitats, and such environmental threats follow. Thompson complements Mason's emphatic text with textured acrylic portraits of animals and ecosystems that resemble weathered tapestries. Closing pages offer examples of "modern-day Noahs" who have acted on behalf of protecting biodiversity, and ways kids can do the same. Ages 8 12.
