Lots is a stylish non-fiction picture book that conveys the magnificent diversity of life on this planet.
From the award-winning team behind Tiny: The Invisible World of Microbes comes Lots, a beautifully illustrated introduction to the concept of biodiversity for younger readers. There are living things everywhere: the more we look, the more we find. There are creatures on the tops of the tallest jungle trees, at the bottom of the coldest oceans, even under the feathers of birds and in boiling volcanic pools. So how many different kinds are there? One, two, three ... lots!
With beautiful words from Nicola Davies and exquisite illustrations by Emily Sutton, this groundbreaking book is certain to enchant and inspire children.

"For five- to eight-year-olds, there’s another love
song to the natural world from Nicola Davies and Emily Sutton, the team
behind Tiny. Lots: The Diversity of Life on Earth counts up from a single human child to species-rich spreads of submarine,
jungle and desert landscapes – and warns that without due care, humanity will
erode the world’s biodiversity down from “lots” to “one”. Clear, direct,
involving text, coupled with vivid, delicate illustrations make for a truly
special work of non-fiction." - The Guardian
