Gr 3-5-Each of these easy-to-read, large-print books offers scientific facts and a lesson about the interdependence of living things. Fallen Tree describes how rotting trees provide shelter for a variety of animals. Milkweed explains how ants herd aphids from the plant and tend them for the honeydew they make. Apple Tree discusses the role of bees in pollination. Large, full-color photos on every spread show an interaction that takes place in nature. Children needing basic material on specific ecosystems or who would like a close-up look at the natural world will benefit from these titles.-Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
