Synopsis

If every known species on Earth were a leaf on a tree, the tree would have 1,750,000 leaves. Humans would count for just one leaf on this Tree of Life. Tree of Life is a dazzling introduction to biodiversity - the incredible variety of life on Earth. It shows how living things are classified, or organized, into five branches and how all of life on Earth is interconnected, a problem with just one branch, one twig or one leaf on the Tree of Life may affect the whole tree with devastating results.

Media Reviews
This may well become a Key Stage 2 classic- it's absolutely stunning. the story unfolds through genuine harmony between text and drawings. Told with real verve and whimsy, it's a rare treat to see a science book written and illustrated to the same standard as commercial fiction. Junior Education (June 2006)
