review:
'Hubert Reeves Explains Biodiversity' by Hubert Reeves and Boutinot Nelly with art by Daniel Casanave is a lecture on biodiversity for younger readers told in a graphic novel format.

Hubert Reeves takes a family on a field trip and teaches the kids the important of biodiversity. Along the way things like the importance of earthworms and how invasive species are introduced are discussed. The importance of maintaining food chains is illustrated with imbalances seen recently.

The illustrations make it more fun, but it still reads kind of like a one sided lecture. Other characters speak, but they are just saying what the main character is saying. I suppose it would be a way to learn about the subject, but there was at least one glaring science error I ran across (iron oxide does not actually contain water).

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
