Kingdoms of Life

By Carly Allen-Fletcher

"Vivid examples . . . plenty of thought-provoking surprises." -- The Wall Street Journal

A vibrant journey through the six classification kingdoms of animals, plants, protists, fungi, archaea, and bacteria. ​

Life is all around us--in millions of different forms

In this eye-popping nonfiction book, Carly Allen-Fletcher invites children on a tour of scientific classification's six kingdoms of life. Every page will spark new questions: what makes each kingdom unique? Where do scientists place camels, baobabs, seaweed, and bread molds? How about the tiny things wriggling under our microscopes? What weird and wonderful life-forms have been discovered in the geysers of Yellowstone and on the seafloors off the coast of Namibia?

Exploding with bright colors and mind-boggling details, Kingdoms of Life is the perfect introduction to how the science of classification helps us explore and understand the wonders of nature.
