Winner of the Margaret Mallett Picture Book Award, as part of the English 4-11 Picture Book Awards.

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! 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. With words from Nicola Davies and exquisite artwork by Emily Sutton, this groundbreaking book is certain to enchant and inspire children.

""Clear, direct, involving text, coupled with vivid, delicate illustrations make for a truly special work of non-fiction."" – Guardian

Whilst reading this picture book, there are numerous facts and figures dotted on different pages; making this book not only educational, but fun and interesting. I love how it introduces the idea of diversity to children, shining light on an important message.

It was very intriguing and colourful. It was about the different types of animals that are on the verge of extinction and that are extinct. It was also about how we are effecting the environment by our pollution.
I found it really good

This is a good book to read. The illustrations are lovely and there are facts too.

I thought this factual book was very interesting because it explained how humans are damaging the planet by chopping down trees and taking too much from the oceon. I enjoyed learning about the animals that are extinct and those that were discovered in the last fifty years. The illustrations were brilliant because they were really detailed and colourful. I loved the underwater scene of the coral reef. I would recommend this book to somebody else.

It interested me because it says about the damage rubbish can do to the ocean,lakes,rivers and seas. It tells you about the beauty of the nature in the world. I rated it 3 stars because there are too many pictures. There needs to be more words.
