<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>In this book, readers will explore a seashore habitat and discover how tide pool animals rely on each other for survival.</strong></p> <p>This title cleverly takes young readers on a mini safari through a tide pool making connections between the living things that call it home. For example: <em>As fish and other animals feed on seaweed, crabs use the seaweed as a place to hide from predatory seabirds. As barnacles feed on plankton, dog whelks go hunting for barnacles. And after an oystercatcher eats a dog whelk, a hermit crab that's grown too big for its shell, moves into the empty dog whelk shell!</em></p> <p>- Packed with <strong>curriculum science</strong> information<br /> - See microscopic tide pool plankton up close<br /> - Discover how seaweed is essential to seashore life<br /> - Learn about the food, homes, and <strong>life cycles </strong>of seashore animals<br /> - Controlled vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure<br /> - Beautiful, labelled photographs throughout<br /> - Close photo/text match</p> <p>- Includes a seashore <strong>food web diagram</strong></p> <p>Filled with facts about the natural world, this title is perfect for students studying habitats, animal and plant life cycles, and ecosystems. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>These thoughtful overviews provide selected examples of the roles of plants and animals within an ecosystem. Basic facts about the habitat are followed by simple profiles of the creatures that live there. Each spread ends with a boxed question that is answered with the subsequent page turn, which neatly supports the theme of connections within a habitat. A spread on rock-clinging seaweed, for example, leads into one on animals that also stick to rocks, followed by a transition to barnacle eating processes. Continuity is further reinforced by introducing an animal, then returning to it later. In <em>Pond</em>, for example, dragonfly eggs are laid, nymphs appear seven pages later, and they emerge as dragonflies toward the end. Visual support comes from a mixture of full-page photos and smaller insets, many of which include helpful labels. Each title ends with a useful food web diagram.</p> <p>Excellent introductions to how ecosystems functions.--<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (7/2/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br>
