Take a walk in the desert. Its hot and dry-and full of life. An elf owl peers out at you from its home, a hole in a saguaro cactus. Nearby, a desert tortoise stretches its neck to nibble on a wildflower. From the thick green stems of cacti to fluffy jackrabbits, the desert is teeming with life. Narrative text and you-are-there photos put the reader in the middle of this misunderstood biome and critical habitat.
Spend the day walking through your favorite biological community in this series focused on different biomes across North America. With captivating color photographs, readers experience walking through the biomes such as the Boreal Forest and encounter each area of the forest as they go, from frozen spruce needles to a moose family crossing the water. Serving a dual function, the books present information about the biome as a larger entity as well as the specifics of each interlaced food web within it. VERDICT This series works well to answer questions from biology class while also fueling new ideas for projects with its strong visual appeal.-School Library Journal
