In this series that covers all of Earth's key habitats, each book reveals the life cycles of eleven animals which link together to create three different food chains. At the end of the book a simple overview helps readers understand how the three food chains interact to create a food web-the perfect first introduction to this core science concept.
Nothing is more essential to life on earth than water, and the diversity of animals in global river habitats make this the perfect subject for a study of life cycles. This book explores how eleven creatures―including favorites like the piranha, the river dolphin, the trout, the grizzly bear, and the otter―are interrelated in three river food chains. Along with a clear explanation of each lifecycle, Life Cycles: River by Sean Callery highlights three key facts about each animal, and color-codes the food chains for easy navigation. The beautiful photography, accessible design, and age-appropriate writing make this the perfect introduction to understanding the delicate balance of life in a river ecosystem.

About the Author:

Sean Callery is an elementary school teacher in addition to being a writer of nonfiction for children. He is also the author of numerous Kingfisher books including the Hide and Seek series, and Hieroglyphs.

From Booklist:
The large-format books in the Life Cycles series combine several concepts: habitats, food chains, and life cycles. Each volume offers three examples of the type of ecosystem named in the title and indicates them upon a world map. Within each example, three or four species of animals (or, in one case, a carnivorous plant) are featured as links in a food chain. Most double-page spreads offer some general information about the species and describe four stages in its life cycle. Plentiful colorful stock photos illustrate the text, and a visual food web for one habitat appears on an appended double-page spread. River includes animals in European ponds as well as South American and North American rivers. Although the books’ layers of concepts diffuse the focus of the series, libraries looking for additional materials on these topics may find the books useful. Grades 3-5. --Carolyn Phelan
