Use as a model for ecological niche writing grades 5-8

Taking kids out into the wilds to write about what they see is often overwhelming to them. This fine book takes each element of the ecosystem of the ocean's edge and illustrates it, then succinctly in two or three sentences tells about it. A great model for kids, whether the ecosystem is mountains, forest, desert or lake.

Simply outstanding!

Coupled with Michael Chesworth's captivating illustrations, this is a book that will be read and re-read many times. Run and get a copy for your classroom or home and be prepared for many fantastic adventures!
