With controlled vocabulary and short, simple sentences, this "Explore the Biomes" series is intended to engage the interest of middle readers with below-expectation reading levels and help them access information about varied ecological communities called "biomes." Each book contains five or six short chapters defining the biome, introducing native plants and animals, exploring the role of humans in that ecology, and then offering a "field guide" (quick facts) and a profile of a scientist who works in one of the biomes being studied.

Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
With controlled vocabulary and short, simple sentences, this "Explore the Biomes" series is intended to engage the interest of middle readers with below-expectation reading levels and help them access information about varied ecological communities called "biomes." Each book contains five or six short chapters defining the biome, introducing native plants and animals, exploring the role of humans in that ecology, and then offering a "field guide" (quick facts) and a profile of a scientist who works in one of the biomes being studied. Following this formula, the authors have managed to make the brief text as lively as possible; color photos are generally well selected and of much greater interest than is usual in a series from this publisher. Readers will be able to identify rain forest areas on a world map and learn about plants like vanilla orchids and smelly Rafflesia. Another chapter introduces rain forest animals; for example, coral snakes, jaguars, macaws, and emerald tree vipers. Stressing conservation, the chapter on human interaction explains the fragility of a rain forest and its threats from clearing, logging, and destruction of unique species. Especially striking are the photos of huge rose and brown cacao pods and a close-up of a Huaorani man shooting his blowgun. Readers will meet Fabian Michelangeli, a rain forest biologist who studies and preserves the unusual ant plant. These visually attractive books present biome overviews that should be colorful and appealing enough to inspire further research. Each title contains a glossary, a short bibliography, and an index.
