Summary

Curious young readers will love learning about the migration patterns of plants and animals from all around the world in this colorful children's atlas, richly illustrated in Matt Sewell's signature watercolors。

Featuring mammals, birds, reptiles, fish, insects, and plants from all continents and nearly all oceans, this informative collection will teach young nature lovers about migration in its many forms。 Grade-school children will discover how creatures navigate the planet when they encounter climate change, sun, chemicals, the Earth's magnetic field, and the changing seasons in this illustrated reference book。

Follow flocks of arctic terns on their annual 24,855-mile journey between the Earth's poles。 Join the monarch butterflies on their famous pilgrimage, upwards of 3,000 miles, from Canada to Mexico。 Marvel at wildebeests, humpback whales, salmon, dragonflies, and more, as they travel around the globe and battle the Earth's toughest conditions to survive。

I absolutely adored this book! I always enjoy reading or watching documentaries on ocean life, and this was just as fun as a television show。 I would love to see this one in print, as I can imagine that the images and illustrations within the book would be of much better quality。 For those who love sea life, or are interested in plants and animals, this is a fabulous book to dive into! Perfect for younger readers as well!

Copy provided by Young Adult Books CentralAnimal books are always fascinating to young readers, and this book concentrates on over 70 animals and plants from all over the world that are especially good at moving from place to place! From the wild cherry to the wandering albatross to the water moccassin, a wide variety of flowers, trees, sea creatures, birds, and land animals are covered。 Each is given a two page spread with a gorgeous portrait, which often include little in the way of background Copy provided by Young Adult Books CentralAnimal books are always fascinating to young readers, and this book concentrates on over 70 animals and plants from all over the world that are especially good at moving from place to place! From the wild cherry to the wandering albatross to the water moccassin, a wide variety of flowers, trees, sea creatures, birds, and land animals are covered。 Each is given a two page spread with a gorgeous portrait, which often include little in the way of background。 There is a brief description of the animal, it's behaviors, and it's movements throughout the world。 Maps detailing these movements are scattered throughout the book。 I remember very vividly having to do an animal report in the fourth grade, and being enthralled with the variations in types of animals, their characteristics, and their behaviors。 The fact that this book showcases animals that travel makes it even more appealing! While migration is mentioned in Williams' Atlas of Animal Adventures: A Collection of Nature's Most Unmissable Events, Epic Migrations and Extraordinary Behaviours, most of the animal books I have seen don't, so this is a good resource to add to a library of animal books that might include DK's Children's Illustrated Animal Atlas, DiSpezio's Animal Atlas for Kids: A Visual Journey of Wildlife from Around the World and Holtfreter's My Animal Atlas: 270 Amazing Animals and Where They LiveThis is perfect for pleasure reading, but would have been better for research if the animals had been organized in a recognizable fashion。 They don't appear alphabetically, nor do they seem to be arranged according to type or location, so an index would have been helpful。 There are also no source notes or bibliography。 。。。more

This is an interesting enrichment book for older elementary and middle school。 The stories of migration across all sorts of life forms--plants, birds, insects, fish, mammals--really capture the wonders of nature。 The maps make the boggling geographic scope of animals' movements hit home!This is quite text-intensive, though the writing is accessible and almost conversational in tone。 There is plenty of humor and interesting facts to hold attention, but this is definitely better suited to older st This is an interesting enrichment book for older elementary and middle school。 The stories of migration across all sorts of life forms--plants, birds, insects, fish, mammals--really capture the wonders of nature。 The maps make the boggling geographic scope of animals' movements hit home!This is quite text-intensive, though the writing is accessible and almost conversational in tone。 There is plenty of humor and interesting facts to hold attention, but this is definitely better suited to older students who are strong independent readers。 Each article has a large, watercolor-style illustration, which adds visual interest。 This would be nice to have available in school libraries as a resource for projects or kids particularly interested in animals。 Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review! 。。。more

A fabulous compendium of over 60 different organisms that migrate。 These range from the common dandelion to rare endangered species。 Scientific and common names are listed before a concise paragraph or two about its unique qualities。 Understated watercolor illustrations accompany the text along with maps showing a select few migratory paths。 Great for integrating science with geography。 A good resource with a vocabulary that will be most useful for upper elementary through middle school age grad A fabulous compendium of over 60 different organisms that migrate。 These range from the common dandelion to rare endangered species。 Scientific and common names are listed before a concise paragraph or two about its unique qualities。 Understated watercolor illustrations accompany the text along with maps showing a select few migratory paths。 Great for integrating science with geography。 A good resource with a vocabulary that will be most useful for upper elementary through middle school age grades。 。。。more

Thanks to Net Galley for an ARC of The Atlas of Migrating Plants and Animals。 This amazing books highlights dozens of animals, birds, and plants from all over the world that migrate to survive。 Each page has well researched information to explain the creature's reasons for migration and an illustration。 There are several maps that diagram the journeys of a few of the animals explained。 The maps showcase the astounding treks undertaken with a short paragraph with details of the journey。 For eleme Thanks to Net Galley for an ARC of The Atlas of Migrating Plants and Animals。 This amazing books highlights dozens of animals, birds, and plants from all over the world that migrate to survive。 Each page has well researched information to explain the creature's reasons for migration and an illustration。 There are several maps that diagram the journeys of a few of the animals explained。 The maps showcase the astounding treks undertaken with a short paragraph with details of the journey。 For elementary school-age students, this is a book they can read on their own or have someone read it to them。 It doesn't have to be read front to back。 The reader can pick and choose the creature they are interested in and read about it。 The book is versatile: you can read one page or all of the pages in a sitting。 As a retired science teacher who taught a unit on adaptations and migration, I learned some new details that amazed me。 Enjoy this book (even if you are older than elementary school students)! 。。。more
