The subject of this book is one of the most famous naturalists in the world. He was born in 1926, so he has been part of people’s lives for as long as they can remember. His television series have been shown around the world and have open the eyes of millions to the dangers that we all face from climate change. As a small child, I still have memories of some of his early adventures, bringing hidden worlds to life and introducing us to creatures such as the Komodo dragon. The book provides a timeline of his life and the momentous events that have occurred during that period.
The book is aimed at pupils aged 8+ and as the sub-title explains, it is very graphic in style and layout. This creates a format where small bite sized pieces of text are used and proved the information about a topic. There is no index or contents page, although a very limited glossary is provided at the back. This is a book for reading or dipping in to for leisure; finding information for research is not an easy option.
