Books in Life Cycles Books series

The world's grasslands are rich habitats that support an incredible diversity of life from the smallest insects to the largest predators such as the lion and the puma. Life Cycles: Grasslands by Sean Callery explores how ten of these creatures from diverse environments―including the African savannah, the North American prairies, and the South American pampas―are all interrelated in three grassland food chains. At the end of each spread, a picture clue lets readers guess which predator is next on the chain. The combination of bright design, clear structure, and appealing wildlife make this a great introduction to life in grasslands around the world.

DOGS, DOGS, DOGS . . . Who can resist them? Most people seem to be born with an instinctive love of these animals and that's not surprising. It's anybody's guess as to how long we've been living with dogs, but one theory says that wolves first moved in with humans over 100,000 years ago. That's plenty of time to develop a relationship! In the present day, just the sight of a puppy usually starts the oohs and aahs and, from children, the question: "Can I pet him?" Happily for both parties, dogs seem to get just as excited about us. Meeting a friendly dog is the very definition of a feel-good moment for all concerned. And you will meet many of them in this book - friendly dogs, funny dogs, feisty dogs and funky dogs, lapdogs, working dogs, acting dogs, heroic dogs, barking dogs, snoozing dogs, celebrity dogs, cuddly dogs, silly dogs and even dogs that don't quite look like dogs.
