The nature in our world is wonderful, and it's up to us to take care of it. You may feel small, but your actions can make a big difference. This title encourages children to look after their world, but it doesn't just focus on the problems - it teaches them proper ways of preserv...ing and protecting the incredible biodiversity in our world. Vet, author, and TV presenter Jess French introduces kids to a wide variety of environments, plants, and animals, with each spread focusing on a particular species, group, or type, the challenges facing it, and the things kids can do to protect it.
