Science Fundamentals: Ecosystems and Biomes

Our planet is home to many types of plants and animals, most of which are specifically suited to existing in a particular ecosystem that forms an interactive community of living things. Hosted by an energetic teen narrator, this fast-paced entry in the Science Fundamental series explores the seven major ecosystems and biomes (desert, grassland, rainforest, etc.), found on the earth, detailing locations, major characteristics, and how creatures have adapted to their surroundings. Combining solid nature footage with clear graphics, Ecosystems and Biomes offers a good introduction to the subject. The other titles in the series are Seeds and Plants, Weather, Rocks and Minerals, Habitats, and Matter. Recommended. Aud: E, I. (E. Gieschen)
