Description
Publisher's Description of Grassland Globetrotting (Biome Explorers)
Embark on a journey of the planet’s grassland biomes with this brightly illustrated nonfiction picture book!
Hello biome explorers! Let’s take a trip to the grasslands! These are wide open spaces of grasses, grazing animals, and swooping birds.
In Grassland Globetrotting: Biome Explorers, adventurous readers ages 5 to 8 journey to temperate grasslands and tropical savannas. Be on the lookout for bison and prairie dogs, wildebeests and giraffes! Kids are also introduced to the hardy plants that survive on the grasslands and learn why fire is an important part of grassland sustainability.
Vivid illustrations, fast facts, and a hands-on activity are all a part of this fun, foundational learning experience. An introductory poem incorporates language arts connections into this science title, which is perfect as a read aloud or for beginner readers. Also includes a glossary to support language development.
Category Description for Biome Explorers
Take a tour across each of the major biomes! Each book highlights one biome with a plethora of illustrations and details regarding plant life, wildlife, weather patterns, seasons, and more. Covering several types of each biome, these books provide comprehensive overviews but are not in-depth studies. Colorful pictures take up most of the space, with medium-sized text and fact boxes focusing on key elements. At the end of each book is a short activity and a glossary. Books do discuss climate change and its effect on each specific biome.
