Exploring the World Around You
A Look at Nature from Tropics to Tundra
This book opens a window to the spectacular environments found on our planet, from deserts to the tropics.

Exploring the World Around You brings the varieties of our planet's habitats alive to the reader, and is a wonderful learning tool complete with illustrations, chapter tests, and an index.
