Summary

Some places on Earth have very little rain. The Arctic and Antarctic are bitterly cold, and parts of the ocean have become devoid of oxygen. Yet Earth remains populated with varied plants and animals even in these horrible habitats! Readers are introduced to unique plants and animals that can exist in places most others can't. Photographs show off the salt- loving mangrove trees, the incredibly hot Atacama Desert, and more in full color. These interesting examples engage readers with science content in a fun way that also exposes them to extreme places and creatures they might not otherwise learn about
