DESCRIPTION:
. From School Library Journal Grade 4–7—Although the text addresses young "eco explorers" directly, this book will likely be used as much by teachers, parents, and organization leaders in planning group activities. Offering an overview of eight terrestrial biomes as well as the ocean, Latham crams a lot of information about climate, plants, animals, soil, and other characteristics onto every page. They can bake honey wheat bread or concoct rainforest "crunch and munch." They can create a pinecone bird feeder, conduct experiments related to acid rain, and assemble a desertarium. Latham also lists ways to help the environment in everyday life. This one is designed for hands-on learners, with adult advice and guidance as needed.—Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, MankatoCopyright © Reed Business Information
