Books in Young Explorer: Food Chains and Webs series

This book explores the food chains and webs that exist in a mountain habitat. It equips readers with crucial vocabulary, using examples from that habitat to explain the roles of producers, consumers and decomposers, and illustrates how living things depend upon each other. Readers learn how fragile food chains can be, how they can be broken, and what we can do to prevent this.

Learning how animals and plants interact is fundamental to our understanding of the natural world. Discover how the structures of plants and animals help them live in their environments. Look at forests, meadows, ponds, deserts, and other environments, from the treetops to under the ground. Discover how the chain of producers and consumers isnt a race to the top, but a complex web of biological relationships.
