Advance Praise

"This volume in the petite Read and Discover: Science series gives early readers a glimpse into forest, grassland, desert, tundra, fresh water, and marine ecosystems. Two double-page spreads are dedicated to each, which prominently display a large color photo of the ecosystem being discussed and zoom in on its plants and animals. Simple text that very generally describes the landscape, climate, and wildlife of each ecosystem appears in a corner of each spread; variations are noted when appropriate, such as the existence of hot and cold deserts. At the book’s end, readers are given a quick pictorial review and asked to identify ecosystems near their homes. Teachers and caregivers can take advantage of the appended “Connecting Concepts” section to reinforce the book’s science concepts and build children’s language skills and fluency."

Featured Reviews

Ecosystems by Mary Lindeen is an informative, non-fiction book in the Physical Science Series. The book provides an interesting way that is easy for children to understand about some of the ecosystems in the world. Some of the things explained include location, climate and what might be living there. This is also an early reader book so will also help to reinforce reading skills and build confidence. At the back of the book it lists the high frequency words as well as content words that can be pre-taught or discussed if the book is being read aloud. There are facts given during the reading accompanied by wonderful photos and many labels. The section at the back for parents and teachers gives suggested activities for connecting concept as well as resources for further investigation. A good book for a primary classroom studying habitats and ecosystems.
