Consider Curiositree by Aj Wood.
“Brightly illustrated and organized as information charts, Curiositree reads like a visual primer for young naturalists. What works best is its approachable snapshots of adaptations—clear labels, playful art and side-by-side comparisons make concepts like camouflage, feeding strategies and reproduction tangible without lengthy prose. Limitations: text is terse and general, so older kids or adults seeking depth will find it skimpy, and the chart format occasionally repeats the same layout until it feels formulaic rather than exploratory.”
