This is a great series to introduce children to various biomes, using examples found in North America. The layouts are visually appealing and include informational sidebars, which don't distract from the main text. The narrative is well-written, engaging, and full of sensory details, which makes it an excellent book to read aloud.

For further exploration of grassland biomes, this book pairs well with "African Savanna" from the "One Small Square" series by Donald Silver. ( )

I would use this book in a 3rd, 4th or 5th grade classroom. I would use this book at these grade levels because of the difficulty level of the book. this book would be best used as a part of a lesson as a class read aloud. ( )
