Life exists everywhere--even at the top of a mountain! This title introduces readers to the world of mountain biomes, exploring the plants, animals, and insects that make this habitat unique. Written to support elementary life science curricula, the text illustrates how each creature in a biome plays an important role in an ecosystem's survival. Readers learn about the relationships between creatures in a habitat and how human intervention can upset the balance. Fact boxes offer informative facts about adaptation, while a simple globe map identifies where in the world mountain biomes are found. Readers are sure to delight in the detailed color photographs that accompany this high-interest title!
