"After reading one of more of these books, students should know exactly what constitutes a food chain and a food web. Each book defines its habitat, explaining a food chain, focusing on the parts of the food chain, describing particular food chains native to geographical regions, and explaining how the habitats are being harmed. With clear diagrams, color photographs, and maps, the visual aspects supplement the text beautifully. The books do a good job of explaining the part that each link in the food chain plays. Sidebars on particular features of a habitat, endangered animals of that habitat, and other interesting facts add variety to the visual layout. A strong theme of environmentalism runs through every one of the books, culminating in a final chapter with ""Top 10 Things You Can Do"" to protect the particular food chain and habitat. This series would provide good supplementary material for science classes and geography classes. Young activists might want to pick these up for independent reading. Bibliography. Glossary. Websites.
