A perfect entry for first conversations about waterways and
conservation.
Author and illustrator team Cathryn and John Sill offer an accessible
introduction to rivers and streams, touching on their major attributes,
the animals and plants that live there, and their remarkable global
diversity.
Using simple, easy-to-understand language, the author teaches children
what rivers and streams are and explains how various species of animals
and plants have adapted to life in or along these waterways. Detailed,
full-color art shows the characteristics of the world's different rivers
and streams―from the mountain brooks of the Alps to the mighty Amazon
River in South America. A glossary and afterword provide further
details.
Great for casual exploration and for early childhood and elementary
education units on nature, environment, earth sciences, and ecosystems.
