      Gr 2-4-Following a nearly identical format, each volume shows the food chain as the movement of energy between the living beings and those that eat them. The traits of carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores are defined as well as those of producers and consumers in each habitat. Simple language makes the information accessible to primary-grade students. At the conclusion of each volume, an illustration shows a food web made of several food chains specific to that domain. But without explanatory text, these webs may be difficult for youngsters to understand. The somewhat murky, full-color, full-page illustrations offer graphic examples of a variety of animals being eaten or dying in the never-ending cycle of life in natural surroundings. The text makes clear that these cycles are normal and necessary. However, the patterns shown are rather repetitive in both text and illustration with snakes, birds, and bugs being part of all but the ocean scenarios. Younger children will have many questions regarding life and death following a reading of these books.-Eva Elisabeth VonAncken, formerly at Trinity-Pawling School, Pawling, NY
