Love The Read and Discover Science series, they are easy to read as they were intended to, but also giving facts about science, so young children can learn (and marvel) about earth. This book especially talks about continents, oceans, planets, and what you can find on land and in oceans. So interesting to read.

A fantastic book for Children. I loved the different aspects of Earth that are taught in this book: continents, forms, animals, oceans, gases, weather. A great way to introduce different science topics to children.

Great for classrooms or childcare centers as well as for children at home.

I love that this book includes the reading reinforcement and connecting concepts section to the end of the book. I think it is a great way to go over what the child learned and to use the book for more than just learning about science but also to help children's reading.

This short book covered all the aspects of living on planet Earth for younger readers. The pictures were vibrant and the text was short and easy to read. I loved seeing planet Earth next to all the other planets and going into the core of the earth. I would definitely add this to my school library collection.

This book contains beautiful photographs of nature and landforms from all over the earth as well as short paragraphs (1-2 sentences per page) with simple, decodable and high frequency words that will make this book perfect for young readers. Often non-fiction texts are inaccessible for young readers because of the content and vocabulary used. The author of this story obviously took time and care to make this book more accessible for young readers. As a grade 3 teacher I would say this book is likely in the grade 1-2 reading level range, but is appropriate for slightly older students who struggle in reading. It does not look like it is written for little kids, however the font and text would be perfect for students in the grade 3-6 range who struggle with reading or are learning English. The book also includes comprehension questions and prompts, a glossary, and word lists that adults can use to support reading. As a grade 3 teacher, I could see using this book in my classroom during our science or social studies units on geography, landforms, habitats, biomes, oceans or natural resources. I would recommend this book for teachers and families of children in the 5-11 age range, with a focus on younger readers or older readers who needed lower leveled texts. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book!

This books attempts to cover many aspects of Earth's geography, zoology, geology, climate, weather, and even the solar system in an incredibly short space with very little text (lots of pictures though). It may be good for young children as a VERY broad overview, but not recommended for older primary/elementary children who actually want more content about any of the specific areas listed above, not just general statements like "The Earth has one moon" and "All kinds of animals live in the ocean."

Earth is a great book for children learning to read and learning more about their world. The pictures were great too! I appreciated the word list at the end.

Very much an early reader – and designed to be used as a tool to learn book engagement almost as much as it is about the natural world – this takes us to our first geology class. So we learn about the continents, the oceans, volcanoes, and the atmosphere – as well as take a brief visit to the rest of the solar system. Each double-page spread has a vivid background photo, two or three lines max of explanatory text, and up to a half-dozen bubbles, in which are other images to convey the list of, for example, different Earthly terrains. There's a bit of a quiz at the end, and other end matter for the person judging this for ease of comprehension and reading, but I doubt they'd have any issue with it. It's only going to be of use to each individual child for a short time in their reading life, but it will still be of much use to many school libraries' bottommost shelf.
