Each book includes a clearly labeled, well-illustrated food chain that shows the relationships between different plant and animal species. In a very effective convention, extinct plants and animals are placed in silhouettes within many illustrations-the black void left by the loss of each species increases with every page. This outstanding series will engage readers on many levels.-- "Series Made Simple; School Library Journal"<br><br>This series takes a simplistic look at the ramifications of what would happen if a key species became extinct from one of earth's ecosystems. Using bold color illustrations, the food chain jumps to life covering these ecosystems and their species. The text is interspersed with hard-hitting statistics and informational sidebars. The harsh reality of the effects on the various ecosystems becomes apparent as the book progresses and the flora and fauna begin to disappear. Each title provides a world map showing the range of each species. Also included are a list of other endangered species from the specific ecosystems and conservations tips. Readers will be attracted to the cover art and the rich illustrations, making this a good hi/lo choice for the nonfiction collection. Bibliograpy. Glossary. Websites. Index. Recommended.-- "Library Media Connection"<br>
