Vivid nature photography is the star of this introduction to the six most common biomes. Each title features a map showing the biome's locations in the world, a description of the climate and habitat, and chapters on a selection of the biome's interesting and colorful plants, big animals, and small animals. While the series is not comprehensive enough to be a sole resource, the Crayola tie-in has the potential to intrigue reluctant readers. It also gives educators an opportunity to incorporate art themes into science classes. A glossary, a 'To Learn More' section, and an index are included. VERDICT An appealing primer. Recommended for large collections and elementary environmental science lessons.--School Library Journal -- Journal
