ReviewedThe wild world is full of wonder. From the salty seas to the dry desert, explore biomes around the globe to discover wildlife as well as the weather, soil, and landforms around them. Carefully leveled text paired with engaging images take readers on a journey to find life everywhere. A final zoomed-in look at a stunning featured biome is packed with fun facts about the wild world of the title biome.
Young nature lovers will find a world of wonder in this fascinating series about unique environments. Brief but descriptive sentences and dramatic full-color photos focus readers’ attention on the marvels found in thriving biomes—their vegetation, climate patterns, and animal communities. Despite the brevity of the prose, students get a clear sense of how each biome looks and feels; the teeming diversity of weather conditions and plant and animal life are made apparent. Onomatopoeic words are used as needed to describe the animals’ movements in their habitats. Readers will be drawn in by the bold, bright covers featuring an animal resident of each biome. Back matter includes a picture glossary without pronunciation guides, and index, a bibliography, and a link to the publisher’s website for additional information. VERDICT: A very fine introduction to the wonders and varieties of Earth’s life forms. Sophisticated, though very accessible for this young audience.
