In order to survive, all living things on Earth must adapt to their environment. They all have certain senses that help them hunt for prey or ways they protect themselves. It's impossible to learn all of it, but through the infographics in this book, readers are sure to understand a great deal. With colorful diagrams and succinct text, each chapter covers a different facet of life on Earth, including how plants protect themselves, cold adaptations, and the carbon cycle. "Try This" boxes throughout the book engage readers by suggesting activities and asking questions related to the text.

Millions of years ago, life on Earth began in the oceans, then moved to the land, eventually producing all the animals and people we recognize today. This pop-up picture book tells younger children how life developed. It uses words kids can readily understand and dramatizes the concepts with delightful full-color illustrations that literally spring up off the page. Here's a fun introduction that will teach younger children about life forms. Each of the book's five pop-up illustrations opens from a two-page spread that has an added gatefold page attached. Each time young readers open the extra gatefold, they activate a clever pop-up creature. Illustrations include a sea monster that opens and closes its jaws, a prehistoric bug that flaps many wings, an ancient reptile that raises its neck and head, a tiny prehistoric mammal that scampers over a nest of dinosaur eggs, and a modern human baby who cheerfully pops up from a page of his own. (Ages: 2-5)
