Books in Nature's Changes series

This title is intended for ages 6-10. All life on Earth depends on the water cycle! This is a fascinating book that introduces children to this important cycle using a clear, step-by step approach. Kids will learn about how different processes, including evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and run-off, work together to move water from the ground to the air and then back down again. Full-colour diagrams and beautiful images accompany clear text to help make the water cycle come alive for kids as they learn: how plants contribute to the water cycle through transpiration; how water trapped underground for thousands of years remains part of the water cycle; the importance of water to all living things; and, ways in which people can help protect Earth's water and keep it clean.

This title is intended for ages 6-10. Plants are living things that grow and change. Over time, plants have made remarkable adaptations to suit the habitats in which they live. Simple text and beautiful images highlight how plants have adapted to life in the Arctic, in aquatic environments, and in other habitats such as those in deserts and grasslands. It describes plants that live in extreme environments and explains how they survive; explains the different ways plants find and store water; explains how plants compete for sunlight in dense forests or other low-light habitats; and, shows how some plants are camouflaged or have other defences that prevent them from being eaten.
