About this item
How are worms helping the forest trees obtain water? Who is munching on the colorful fungus that's growing from a tree trunk? Which neighborhood residents will soon become dinner for the family of hungry woodpecker chicks? And what tiny creatures on the forest floor will feed on the red, orange, and yellow leaves that fall from the trees in autumn? Readers will discover how living things depend on each other and their environment for survival. Packed with facts, core-curriculum information, and fantastic photographs that support the text, each book takes readers on a mini safari through a habitat. Like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle, readers will discover connections and interactions between the plants, animals, and other living things that make each natural neighborhood their home.
