A beautifully illustrated lift-the-flap book about the wildlife that can be found in and around rivers, written by conservation scientist Dr. Charles van Rees.
Rivers support life in their depths, on their banks, and in the sky above them. The River of Life highlights some of the most fascinating river habitats in the world, with plenty of fun things for young readers to spot in each stunning illustration by Marc Pattenden. After spying a creature hidden in the scene, little hands can lift a flap to learn more about it, from snapping alligators in China's Yangtze River to cute capybaras around the Amazon River.
The book introduces famous rivers around the world, including the Mississippi and the otters that roam its banks, and the endangered dolphins that call the River Ganges home. Readers will also meet the birds that rely on rivers for food during their epic migrations and discover the significance of the Nile River in Ancient Egyptian mythology.
By the end of the book kids will have a new-found appreciation for the role rivers play in ecosystems all over the world.
Discover more fascinating facts in the Amazing Habitats series with The Tree of Life.

About the Author
Neon Squid creates beautiful nonfiction books for inquisitive kids (and kids at heart). We believe the most amazing stories are real ones, so our books are for children who want to decipher ancient scrolls, orbit distant stars, and dive into the deepest oceans. Our books are a labor of love―written by experts, illustrated by the best artists around, and produced using the finest materials, including sustainably sourced paper. We hope that by reading them kids are encouraged to further explore the world around them.
Marc Pattenden is a self-taught illustrator from East Sussex, UK. As a child he drew endlessly, but it wasn't until his son was born that he rediscovered his love of doodling. Marc has since graduated from doodling and now works full time as an illustrator. He spends much of his time drawing silly pictures containing forlorn looking yetis, giant purple robots and the like with the aim of creating colorful engaging work, full of texture and atmosphere.
