<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>In this book, readers will explore a forest habitat and discover how the wildlife and plants that call it home form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.</strong></p> <p>This title cleverly takes young readers on a mini safari through a forest making connections between the living things that call it home. For example: <em>High above the ground in an old oak tree, a woodpecker and a squirrel are raising their families. In autumn, acorns from the tree will become food for the squirrel family. And when a deer dies in the forest, its body becomes food for hungry raccoons and a host of different insects.</em></p> <p>- Packed with <strong>curriculum science</strong> information<br /> - Learn about the <strong>life cycles </strong>of some common mammals and birds<br /> - Discover how fungi are a forest's clean-up crew<br /> - Controlled vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structure<br /> - Beautiful, labeled photographs throughout<br /> - Close photo/text match<br /> - Includes a forest <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>
