Review by Horn Book Review

After brief introductions to the title ecosystems, examples of three actual food chains within that ecosystem are presented (e.g., from Rainforests: leafcutter ant, armadillo, jaguar). Well-designed double-page spreads (including useful tab-charts on left-hand pages) provide brief information about each creature and its place on the chain. Vivid photos and vibrantly colored pages are eye-catching. Useful food web charts summarizing content are appended. Glos., ind.
