The Earth : one-of-a-kind planet / Laura Perdew ; illustrated by Shululu.
"Earth is our home, but do we really know about this planet? Quite a lot! We know how the Earth came to be the planet we live on, how oxygen made it possible for life to develop, and how the climate is changing in ways that affect everyone and everything. In The Earth: One-of-a-Kind Planet, the narrator, who just happens to be the Universe, explains where Earth is located in the solar system, how life evolved on Earth, and more. Universe uses a friendly, relatable tone to engage young readers and explain complex science content in ways kids can understand and relate to. And the alien commentators are hilarious for both kids and adults!" -- Back cover.

- School Library Journal Reviews : SLJ Reviews 2021 April
Copyright 2021 School Library Journal.K-Gr 2â A narrative nonfiction set with visual appeal. The Universe, personified with a face and long, star-filled dark hair, narrates the titles, introducing early astronomy and Earth science concepts to earthlings. Two unnamed alien creatures provide additional commentary and comic relief. The cheerful illustrations, with a soft chalk-like texture, feature many anthropomorphic stars and planets that will appeal to fans of Stacy McAnulty's similar series. Except forThe Moon , each book closes with an environmentalist message about pollution, light pollution, or solar energy. An activity and glossary are included.VERDICT A good option for educators looking to incorporate narrative nonfiction into natural science and astronomy lessons.
