Synopsis

While most fish eggs become food for other animals, the male seahorse guards its eggs in a special pouch until they hatch! This exciting book explains the basic concept of the life cycle in an easy-to-understand way for children. Fascinating examples explain both plant and animal life including: - insects, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and underwater life - the process from seed or egg through birth, growth, reproduction, and death - the dangers to existing life cycles from man and other predators

About this title

Taken from Chapter 10: Life as a mammal A mammal's life cycle is different from the life cycle of other animals in two important ways - birth and feeding. Most mammals grow inside their mother's body where they are well protected. When they are large enough to come into the world, they are live born, as shown below. A live-born animal is born alive from its mother's body instead of hatching from an egg.

Grade 3-5-These three titles use clear photographs, illustrations, charts, and short chapters to introduce students to their subjects. In the first title, Kalman clearly explains what food chains and webs are and discusses their different levels and/or types. Directions are given for a game that further explains the latter concept. Biome offers a map and discussion of the major types of ecological communities (grasslands, scrublands, desert, etc.). A final page notes how humans are jeopardizing these environments. No solutions are given. Life Cycle takes readers from birth to adulthood to the reproduction of plants and animals, including humans. Photographs show a sheep giving birth and millipedes mating. Visual representations of the circular pattern of the life cycle can be found throughout. These books will find a lot of use in schools and libraries.
