Gr 2-4-Stepping into habitats outside the specific structures of the main biomes, readers can find familiar worlds like forests discussed in new ways. The simple paragraphs paired with brightly colored backgrounds and color photographs will appeal to younger readers building their science literacy skills through the rich topical vocabulary. Climate change and global warming are addressed here in a relevant, focused way that is also age-appropriate without overloading young readers.
