"Gr. 4-7. This excellent series...moves beyond the glossy pictures and indignation of some children's ecology books...Sayre's texts are lively and interesting...whether they're about the familiar deciduous forest, the remote, alluring rain forest, or the little-known desert...and her overviews of geography and the ecological layering of plants and animals are adept and well presented. Without being gushy or mechanical, Sayre conveys the excitement possible in close observation of the natural world."
