K-Gr 3—Using only a few sentences per page, these introductions offer a wealth of information for young readers. A world map identifies where the biome exists, and captioned photos throughout the book offer glimpses of specific places. The map in Desert notes hot, cold, and polar types, while Mountains identifies the highest peak on each continent. Representative plants and animals illustrate important characteristics such as camouflage or other survival strategies. Each volume concludes by featuring a specific example such as Australia's Great Barrier Reef, complete with photo and statistics plus a food web diagram.
VERDICT First-rate choices to update or supplement resources about biomes for beginning researchers.
