This is a great book to aid in teaching how different types of animals survive in the environments that they live in. This concept of food chains, predator vs prey, and survival mechanisms can be a little confusing to young minds, so using this as an aid and reading bits and pieces of this short book to the class or small groups could be beneficial in the learning process because it includes poems and pictures to describe the different predators and who their prey is.

What beautiful illustrations!! The relationships between the species is painted in great detail, with such thoughtful and varied backgrounds. The poetry for children is simple for them to understand, easy to be read aloud, and creates a rhythm between the species that can be felt. My favorite poem was the fireflies, the last line made me laugh a little. ( )

Beautiful illustrations and easy to see the difference between the Predator and Prey. ( )

I enjoyed this book. It is written "for two voices", so be aware of that when starting to read to a child. Not hard to read out loud, and would probably be a good interactive story for a young reader who would like to participate in the reading of poetry. ( )

My children and I loved this book.

I wasn't sure exactly what to expect, but it's a wonderful blend of poetry (sometimes for multiple voices) and science.

Each page contains a beautifully illustrated poem about a predator or their prey, and then at the bottom, a pullout box explaining the scientific principle the poem describes.

I imagine that this will be a book we pull out over and over again in the future.
