Middle level readers are captivated by amazing facts—the highest, rainiest, or wettest places on the planet. And they are easy to find. But what makes Seymour Simon's book on Earth's extremes an NSTA/CBC Outstanding Trade Book are the explanations that follow.

Readers move from those facts to interesting descriptions of each environment and scientifically–understandable explanations of why. Every illustration is bright, colorful, and accurate. The content is correct and grade–level appropriate. The explanations are broken down so children can understand complex vocabulary. An index will help the addicted reader return to a virtual exploration again to understand more about the variety of habitats on our planet.
