Children’s Book About Planet Earth: A Kids Picture Book About Planet Earth with Photos and Fun Facts

Planet Earth. It’s the third planet from the sun. The place called home by every living species and where we keep our stuff. It’s perfectly designed with gravity, oxygen, water and everything it needs to sustain life. Let’s take a trip around the earth to discover what she’s all about.
Out of all the planets discovered we are the only one that can sustain life. Our atmosphere contains 21 percent oxygen and it is the only one with liquid water on its surface. Without these we would just be another rock floating around the sun. Earth is also the only inner planet to have one large moon. And as you probably know, the moon is paramount in the pull of our tides and also gives us the minute lengthening (or shortening) in each of our days.
The earth is 7,928 miles (12,760 kilometers) around the diameter or the equator. We are also situated 93 million miles (150 kilometers) from the sun. Although some of those hot summer days may feel like we are closer.

Children’s Book About Tigers: A Kids Picture Book About Tigers with Photos and Fun Facts

Panthera tigris, or in laymen’s terms, the tiger, is the biggest species of wild cat in the world. And their distinctive reddish-orange and white bodies with the black stripes, probably makes them one of the most recognizable.

There are five subspecies of the tiger; Bengal, South China, Indochina, Sumatran, and Siberian. Some of the species live in southeast Asia and India where it is very cold. Even though all tigers are now endangered, we have lost the Caspian, Bali, and Javan, completely.

The tiger’s population was once in the hundreds of thousands, but over the last 100 years, due to hunting and deforestation, the numbers of rapidly decline. The estimate is only around 2,500 of these animals left in their natural habitat. The tiger has also been hunted for their status as a trophy and for the many body parts that are considered medicinal in the Chinese culture.

At this times not much was known about the starfish, except it looked like a fish and lived in the sea. Today, we have learned more about this amazing creature, like it actually isn’t a fish. The starfish is an echinoderm, which is more closely related to the sand dollar and sea urchin. Because of this discovery scientists have changed their name to “sea stars.”

There is around 2,000 species of sea stars and they can be found in saltwater or brackish waters all over the world. They like the warm tropical waters as well as the cooler sea floor.
