This book is a great introduction to food webs and food chains. In fact, it provided great definitions of both food webs and food chains. It stated that a food chain is a linear representation flow of energy,and that a food web is a representation of food chains connected together. Additional information that was in the book that is great to tell students is that every food chain begin with a green plant and green plants can make their food. One thing I would like to point out in the book is tha...more

This book is filled with beautiful illustrations to depict how food chains and food webs work.

The students could also use their math skills to discuss the number of animals included in their web or chart how many producers, consumers, or decomposers there are. They could also try and make as many food webs as they possi...more
