“Discovering Life on Earth is the most exciting and ambitious natural history book for young readers to appear in years.  Desmond Morris called the original edition of Life on Earth “…the best introduction to natural history ever written…”, but many children who were avid fans of the BBC television series needed an easier text.  For this special edition David Attenborough has written a simplified, shorter text and included over 500 new photographs which makes this wondrous history of nature truly accessible to young readers.”
