Nothing is more essential to life on earth than water, and the diversity of animals in global river habitats make this the perfect subject for a study of life cycles. This book explores how eleven creatures--including favorites like the piranha, the river dolphin, the trout, the grizzly bear, and the otter--are interrelated in three river food chains. Along with a clear explanation of each lifecycle, Life Cycles: River by Sean Callery highlights three key facts about each animal, and color-codes the food chains for easy navigation. The beautiful photography, accessible design, and age-appropriate writing make this the perfect introduction to understanding the delicate balance of life in a river ecosystem.
