Wilderness: Earth's Amazing Habitats by Mia Cassany & Marcos Navarro (Nonfiction Picture Book Review)

I received a free physical copy of this picture book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Wilderness: Earth's Amazing Habitats
by Mia Cassany
Illustrated by Marcos Navarro
Published by Prestel Junior
on March 19, 2019
Length: 40 pages
Ages: 6-9 years

This brilliantly illustrated book takes young readers to the planet's wild regions, including forests, jungles, tundras, and deserts to discover the animals that call it home. 

My Thoughts:
Get ready for an adventure!

Wilderness is wonderfully educational and features large full-spread illustrations of colorful flora and fauna from thirteen different habitats around the world; from safeguarded national parks in Africa that help protect endangered animals from poachers to the Qinling Mountains in the middle of China where only about 250 Qinling Pandas exist today!

The habitats include many national parks and animal/nature reserves, some of which have been declared to be UNESCO World Heritage sites, meaning they will be protected for future generations.
Each page shares the name of the park or reserve with a little information on why the reserve was created. It also includes both tree or plants and animals that are unique to that habitat and part of the world. You can get lost in the beautiful imagery of this book!

Includes a world map at the front of the book and extra information on the animals of each habitat in the back.


Many thanks to the publisher for giving us the opportunity to explore more of the world with this wonderful book! We took it on a few adventures in our own little corner of the world!
