Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6?Sharp, detailed, and well-formatted photographs and illustrations effectively introduce readers to dune formation and habitats. The power of sand, wind, and space is shown by describing the disappearing oak forest on the Channel Islands of California. The rest of the text explains all kinds of formations, including why sands are different colors and why dunes come in many shapes. Terminology is well explained. Flora and fauna are introduced, with emphasis on the adaptations that allow both to survive. A list of sand dunes of North America is appended, and those in other parts of the world are mentioned in the text. This book includes more information than Jan Gumprecht Bannan's Sand Dunes (Carolrhoda, 1989).?Kathryn Kosiorek, Cuyahoga County Public Library, Brooklyn, OH
