Accurately reflects the environment and ecosystem

Ann Nagda's World Above The Clouds: A Story Of A Himalayan Ecosystem is superbly illustrated by the artistry of Paul Kratter and specifically written for young readers grades 1 to 4. The latest in Soundprint's outstanding "Wild Habitat" series, World Above The Clouds is as entertaining as it is informative in describing the wildlife of the snow-covered peaks of the Himalayan mountains in northern India. A snow leopard has recently left her mother to hunt and fend for herself in this stark and beautiful landscape. She must contend with a red fox, a bearded vulture, and nearby villagers for her meals. Then there are the threatening wolves! This memorable storybook text accurately reflects the environment and ecosystem of the animals that live in the majestic Himalayas -- quite literally above the clouds!
