Annotation: Small Worlds introduces children to ecology and ecosystems by concentrating on life in a small part of a larger habitat. Beginning with a description of the habitat, the book then looks at the plants and animals that live there. Young readers are introduced to:
-- the relationships that exist between groups of organisms and their environment
-- important ecological concepts, such as producers, consumers, decomposers, and food webs, explained and illustrated with examples
-- activities that encourage children to investigate ecosystems closer to home
-- tips on observing safely without disturbing nature or endangering themselves

Visit the rocky shores of A Tidal Pool and find out about seaweed, shells, and the diverse number of animals that make tidal pools their home. Spectacular photographs and easy-to-understand text show how different conditions during high-, mid-, and low-level tides determine which plants and animals live in which part of the shore. A trip to a tidal pool outlines rules for observing nature without endangering creatures, plants, and young observers.

Concepts are explained such as:
-- food chains and webs
-- camouflage
-- breeding
-- survival in a constantly changing coastline
