Readers must look carefully to find all twelve vital differences in the two facing pages, each illustrating one of Earth’s natural habitats. Explore the flora and fauna of South Asia, northern Europe, and Mexico; visit the rain forests of Australia, New Guinea, the Amazon, and central Africa. Explore life in the Red Sea, in the grasslands of the African savanna, and in the volcanic springs of Japan. Investigate the mountain scrub of Australasia, the Indian and Pacific Oceans, and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

A key provides the answers for each set of pictures and offers brief bits of information about each animal or plant featured in the illustration. Readers of all ages are sure to find much here to appreciate.

Highly recommended. ( )
