| Publisher Description: This beginner's guide and classroom favorite explores the major attributes of forests. From the creators of the award-winning About Habitats and About... series. "An effective, gentle, and realistic introduction." ―Booklist In this addition to the celebrated About Habitats series, former educator and author Cathryn Sill uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what forests are and how various species of animals and plants have adapted to life in these habitats. Noted wildlife illustrator John Sill offers detailed, full-color illustrations to show the characteristics of different types of forests--from the cold boreal forests of the northern hemisphere to the warm tropical forests near the equator--as well as the animals and plants that live there. A glossary and afterword provide further details. The About Habitats series introduces children to specific habitats and their living and nonliving components. Each book in the series provides information about the nature and characteristics of the habitat while the full-page illustrations expand on that information.
