Review:

Planet Earth -- Quite simply, it's the standard against which all science/nature documentaries must forever be measured for reasons almost too numerous to mention here. Aimed at no single demographic group so much as the human race itself, "Planet Earth" makes the world around us come to life with a crystal clarity and magnificence never before witnessed. For kids, this multi-parter offers an exciting and fully appropriate view of the natural planet that can't help but stimulate thrall and awe in equal measure. It teaches with great flair while it entertains us effortlessly, presenting the world in a fashion that never feels in the least dull or preachy.  The series consistently illuminates, its grandeur and scope at once mesmerizing and stimulating. As close to a perfect production as we're ever likely to see.

Planet Earth Collection - Education Edition includes teacher's guides and ancillary materials for three targeted grade bands (3-5, 6-8, and 9-12) and connects essential concepts to topics in science, social studies, and the humanities, promoting critical thinking and developing a cross-curricular framework for instruction.

Supplementary programs: Saving Species, Into the Wilderness, and Living Together interweave key arguments from leading environmental commentators about what the future may hold for the world's most threatened plants, animals, and ecosystems.
