Stickmen's Guide to Mountains and Valleys in Layers

(4) 4-6 Stickmen's Guides to This Incredible Earth series. Illustrated by John Paul de Quay. In this series, stick figures travel through the layers of our planet's atmosphere, earth, and sea. In places such as the troposphere, grasslands, and sunlight zone, the stickmen skim over physical science principles, plant and animal life, and human activities (e.g., space exploration, mining). Beneath the unnecessary stick-figure gimmick are helpful information and diagrams in a neatly organized presentation, though the tiny type is off-putting. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Stickmen's Guides to This Incredible Earth titles: Stickmen's Guide to Earth's Atmosphere in Layers, Stickmen's Guide to Mountains and Valleys in Layers, and Stickmen's Guide to Oceans in Layers.
