Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-These three titles use clear photographs, illustrations, charts, and short chapters to introduce students to their subjects. In the first title, Kalman clearly explains what food chains and webs are and discusses their different levels and/or types. Directions are given for a game that further explains the latter concept. Biome offers a map and discussion of the major types of ecological communities (grasslands, scrublands, desert, etc.). A final page notes how humans are jeopardizing these environments. No solutions are given. Life Cycle takes readers from birth to adulthood to the reproduction of plants and animals, including humans. Photographs show a sheep giving birth and millipedes mating. Visual representations of the circular pattern of the life cycle can be found throughout. These books will find a lot of use in schools and libraries.

My 6 yo poured over this time and again on a road trip ( we drove to a different biome). Info on flora and fauna components and how they are impacted by each biomes weather.

It's ok. I found the content organization a little confusing. There is not a complete and concise definition of biome. The types of biomes are discussed, but the information is not presented in the simplest, most easily understandable way. It's a little jumbled.

This is an awesome book, Just what I needed for my class to read. I am doing a unit on biomes and this book hits the spot. It is informative and gives just the tight amount of information without being overbearing for the students in my class. I would recommend this to anyone that is going to research biomes or to have your kids read. Pictures are superb.
