Food Chains Series
Author Bobbie Kalman is good at making scientific concepts easy
to understand. In this series she shows how all living things are connected
through food chains. All books explain what food chains are, which plants and
animals are part of the food chain in a particular habitat, and how the actions
of people affect food chains and wild habitats. These books are written at
grade 2 level but will appeal to older children -- and even their parents and
teachers -- because of their wealth of information and their vivid, colorful
photos and illustrations. They beg to be read. I do not always have all of these
in stock, but am always happy to order what I'm out of for you. Just inquire.
Books are 32 pages each and have glossary and index. They are only $6.26-D each.
