Vanishing Habitats

Written by Robert Bateman

Vanishing habitats….everywhere we look wild places are being plower over or filled in or paved to make way for human habitation and commerce.  Robert Bateman, a world renowned Canadian Naturalist feels that the key to changing this decline is through understanding.  He has written a wonderful children’s book about habitats that are important for survival of our planet.  He lovingly introduces you and your child to each bio-habitat and its inhabitants, from rivers, to wetlands, to prairies, to shorelines, etc you learn about how interconnected all life on the planet is and what we can do to help preserve these essential places.

The artistry in this book is spellbinding.  Robert Bateman is one of the world’s finest wildlife artists and captures creatures with sensitivity and beauty.  You can see  the wistful expression on the fox’s face and the proud carriage of the mountain goat through his paintings.  A picture tells the entire story sometimes.  Each habitat page has memorable stories about creatures and handy facts boxes.

Many fantastic stories and facts will capture your young person’s imagination and teach her about ecosystems and habitat biospheres. In turn, your child will be more aware of what she can do to preserve these beautiful and necessary places for the future.  That is the goal of the author…to teach kids to love and be fascinated by wild spaces.  Knowledge and respect for nature is the only thing needed to change a situation of decline to a situation of growth for our natural habitats.
