Horn Book Review

Each of these volumes provides a brief introduction to a different biome, describing its unique features, its formation, its plant life, and some of the animals found there. Large color photographs provide attractive views of the ecosystems, although there are no maps to show their locations (except in 'Oceans', which has a number of unlabeled, repetitious maps).
