Readers get a detailed look at some of the producers, consumers, and apex predators that make up mountain food webs in this guide to a common science curriculum topic. By combining basic information about the parts of food webs with fun animal facts and photographs, this volume captivates not just budding biologists, but even reluctant readers. They delight in exploring the fact boxes that break down predator-prey relationships and the critical-thinking questions that invite them to apply what they've learned to the world around them. Vibrant visual representations of food chains and food webs further enhance this learning experience.

Early learners are often able to describe sounds -- loud and quiet, high and low. After finishing this engaging introduction to the science of sound, they'll also be able to explain where sounds come from, how they're measured, and how they reach our ears Fun facts about sounds are presented using short, simple sentences that allow readers to independently explore this topic. Basic elementary science concepts are explained in accessible ways, and a glossary helps readers understand unfamiliar terms. Full-color photographs and diagrams with helpful labels are essential components of the eye-catching design.
