Tree of Life: The Incredible Biodiversity of Life on Earth
by Rochelle Strauss

Kids Can Press, 2004
ISBN 1553376692
$19.95 (hc)

A family tree for all living things. If every known species on earth were a leaf on a tree, the tree would have 1,750,000 leaves. Humans count for just one leaf on this Tree of Life. This is an illustrated introduction to biodiversity and shows how living things are classified, or organized into five branches and how each species is important and related to all the rest.
