Why?

Why is this book out of print? This is a wonderfully exciting book. It is not just useful for anyone interested in teaching children about ecology but for an introduction to the scientific method. Wouldn't it be lovely if all our cities were as responsible to thier people as Chattanooga? I love this book. My daughters have tried to find it to donate to our school libraries in memory of their brother who died before he could make a difference. Tomorrow is his birthday and still we look.

Please re-print this excellent book!

As an elementary science specialist and parent, I would highly recommend this book. Molly Bang makes the concepts of ecosystems and microscopic organisms come to life! Delightful pictures and text for grades 3-6.
