Ripley's Believe it or Not Extreme Earth







Hook:   “ Rain forests contain a bigger range of animals and plants than anywhere else on Earth! Just one acre might contain up to 120 different types of trees. The rain forest floor is so dark because the trees have tall, straight trunks so their upper branches can reach the sunlight and create a canopy 150 feet high.” (Page 42)

   “Grass is one of nature’s top success stories- it’s almost indestructible! This hardy plant can survive wildfires, and being grazed, mown, frozen, scorched, trampled, and blasted by high winds.” (Page 38)

Recommendation:   Have you ever wanted to learn about natural disasters, fun facts, and wonderfully insane information that you will never forget? If you read Extreme Earth by Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, you can have what you wanted! I absolutely recommend this book because it’s interesting, funny, and creative!
