Review Detail

Green: The Story of Plant Life on Our Planet is an incredibly detailed look at trees and life on Earth.

It opens up with a poignant line about how the tree pictured doesn’t seem to be doing much. That it is just standing around being big and green. We come to find the many fascinating things that trees do from the huge importance of photosynthesis to its opposite: respiration, which keeps our air in balance. We learn the history of how plants have trapped carbon dioxide, changing the air from toxic to inhabitable for all kinds of life forms.

The illustrations of abundant landscapes are large and bright, showcasing the color Green. These lovely illustrations help children to understand the text.

Green: The Story of Plant Life on Our Planet is simply fascinating and engaging for all ages.
