Life Cycles: River - Sean Callery

. .

Résumé :
About the Series Each book in this essential series reveals the life cycles of ten animals in a particular habitat which link together to create three food chains. At the end of the book a simple overview helps readers understand how the three food chains interact to create a food web- the perfect first introduction to this core science concept. Discover which creatures are at the top and bottom of three food chains in each book, and learn what happens at each stage of their life cycle. At the end of each spread, children can use the picture clue to guess which predator is waiting to pounce over the page.

NSTA RecommendsThis book stands out among other books that cover the topic of community ecology. Comparing rivers in South America and North America with ponds in Europe, it integrates many concepts into one unifying theme: river communities. . . . [U]se this book as a supplement to lessons covering food chains/food webs, life cycles, or even biomes. Reading level is appropriate for the intended audience (grades 2-5). The book would be a smart addition to a classroom library for use in a community ecology unit.
