Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 4-7-Each volume features an environment with flora and fauna unique to specific areas of the world. Marine animals found in the different oceans and at various depths are covered in the first title. The second book compares animals living in the rain forests of South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. Silverman introduces the various plants and animals surviving in deserts around the world. Along with color photos of animals in their habitat, diagrams illustrate how food chains and webs flow. The pictures and charts will draw readers in and help reiterate the importance of each link. Each book explains the dangers these food chains face due to pollution, species removal, introductions of alien species, and human carelessness. Ten ideas on how individuals can help save these systems are appended. Good additions to supplement information regarding various ecosystems.-Sandra Welzenbach, Villarreal Elementary School, San Antonio, TX (c) Copyright 2010.
