Taken from Chapter 1: What is a food chain? Food webs and ecosystemsEach ecosystem on earth contains many food chains. An ecosystem includes all plants, animals and non-living natural things, such as sand, rocks, and soil, in a certain area. Deserts, forests, coral reefs in the ocean, and African grasslands called savannahs are examples of different ecosystems. All the living things in an ecosystem are connected in a food web, and they depend on one another for survival.

From School Library Journal:

Grade 3-5-These three titles use clear photographs, illustrations, charts, and short chapters to introduce students to their subjects. In the first title, Kalman clearly explains what food chains and webs are and discusses their different levels and/or types. Directions are given for a game that further explains the latter concept. Biome offers a map and discussion of the major types of ecological communities (grasslands, scrublands, desert, etc.). A final page notes how humans are jeopardizing these environments. No solutions are given. Life Cycle takes readers from birth to adulthood to the reproduction of plants and animals, including humans. Photographs show a sheep giving birth and millipedes mating. Visual representations of the circular pattern of the life cycle can be found throughout. These books will find a lot of use in schools and libraries.
