Plot: The book, spawned by the popular television series, focuses on the natural history of the planet. Like the series, the book displays beautiful visuals about rare, famous, and/or elusive animals throughout the world.
Genre: Documentary, Animals
Reading Level: The language may discourage younger readers.
Similar Titles: Through the Lens, Life: Extraordinary Animals, Extreme Behaviors
Personal Thoughts: The book is beautiful and well-suited for a coffee table status. However, the writing remains extremely dry. Unlike the narration of the series, the book does not flow very well and information does not seem as accessible. Still, the captions are appealing and add greatly to the photographs, which are stills from the original documentary.
