Books with title planet earth

Planet Earth is a lively, thought-provoking book for children ages 8-12. Planet Earth looks at the world as it appears through the earth's orbit. These global views show how local terrain and environment affect the way we live, with regional maps covering every inch, showing countries as they really are in relation to others on the globe, and offering clear explanations of topics such as the world's weather, natural disasters and the extinction of the dinosaurs.

The poles are not just vast expanses of snow and ice. They support a unique plant and animal life, like the penguins, polar bear, caribou, and many rare birds like the Arctic tern. The poles are rich in minerals, including oil and gas. Besides being storehouses of fossils, they are natural laboratories, where scientists conduct research on climate. Explore the two poles and discover the surprises hidden in their icy landscape. Also learn about how these fragile regions are threatened by pollution and climate change.

Readers of all ages will delight in this earthy and wildly fun children's tale that has a big message on the importance of environmental awareness. Moving, vast, and refreshingly candid, Planet Earth Gets Well by new author Madeline Kaplan helps young readers think proactively about their environment and pinpoints how to initiate meaningful change in order to make Planet Earth a healthier place. When Planet Earth gets the sniffles, Mother Nature challenges each of us to retract our gluttonous ways. She instructs the Planet Earth to take better care of himself which means all humans must make big changes about key issues like global warming, the melting of polar ice caps, deforestation and energy depletion. Once Planet Earth sneezes, Mother Nature listens and helps each and every one of us learn how to be good to our dear, old friend. This educational reader is wholly unique in the ways that matter-think globally, think green, and act accordingly!
