Whether they’re called prairies in North America, steppes in Russia, or pampas in Argentina, grassland areas support an astonishing variety of wildlife! Full of maps, fun facts, photos, and illustrations, Grasslands gives students an appreciation of the crafty animals—from the black-tailed prairie dog to the great green bush cricket—that thrive in our planet’s vast seas of grass. The volume’s special features include a glossary, photographs, an index, detailed captions describing each animal, and inset maps showing where on the globe the different species are found.
From the driest deserts to the steamiest rain forests, animals everywhere have found inventive ways to survive and flourish. World Book’s Animals and Their Habitats series gives students in grades 5 to 8 an inspired mix of maps, fun facts, photos, diagrams, and illustrations to aid in their study of biology, geography, zoology, and ecology.
