Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-7-- In each volume, selected animals and an occasional plant typical of a habitat are described. The double-page spreads feature at least one striking, high-quality, full-color photograph. A brief paragraph presents some information, and more detail is included in the labeled captions and in short paragraphs scattered around the layout. This format and the catchy chapter titles make exploring each page an adventure. The text is very readable and generally accurate. However, there are no maps or indications as to which life forms inhabit the same area, or in which global regions they may be found. For more detailed coverage and an environmental approach, use Landau's Tropical Rain Forests around the World (Watts, 1990), Simon's Deserts (Morrow, 1990), Bramwell's Oceans (Watts, 1984; o.p.), Segaloff and Erickson's A Reef Comes to Life (Watts, 1991), and Zim's Corals (Morrow, 1966; o.p.). --Meryl Silverstein, American Museum of Natural History, New York City

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun, fact packed book!, August 2, 2002
By A Customer
The photos are amazing, the closeups are incredible, the details are excellent for teaching a myriad of concepts relating to the natural history and biology of pond critters. The text is broken up into nice, readable sections and paragraphs, making this a perfect science book for middle elementary grades. But it's really the photos that star in this book, they are some of the best I have seen in any pond book! They draw the kids in and encourage them to read the text.
