Life Cycles: Grassland
Kingfisher, 2011.
$6.99 PICTURE BOOK/NON-FICTION. Content: G.
This book covers some of Africa, North America and South
American animals that live in the grasslands. Some of the animals include: zebras, hyena, lions, vultures,
cougars, prairie dogs, coyotes and rattlesnakes. Each page layout is about one animal and there is a paragraph
to describe what the animal eats and where it lives. Each animal also has a life cycle explained with pictures
and a section that has interesting facts about the animal. At the bottom of the page is a picture
of the biggest predator to threaten that animal. At the beginning of the book is a picture of
where grasslands are found in the world and at the back of the book is a North
American food web to show how the animals affect each other’s lives. There is also a glossary. The descriptions are simple to
understand and the pictures are interesting and clear. I think there could have been a clearer
way to explain when the animals were from different parts of the world. Also, my biggest complaint is that the
cover has a cheetah on it and there isn’t a single page in the book that covers
cheetahs.
