About the author

Born in Suffolk, Sarah Ridley lives on the Suffolk/Essex border and is a writer and editor of educational books for children and young people. Recently, a life-long interest in history has led her to write books about the First World War, inspired by reading letters written by soldiers who served in the conflict. Brothers at War tells the story of uncovering the material held in her own family's archives. Dear Jelly sets letters written by soldier brothers to their younger sisters at its core. Teenage children keep Sarah busy when she isn't tied to her computer, and she relaxes by walking along river estuaries close to her home.

Reviews

[John Clark]

This is the one book in this series that many children can read and then find many of the creatures identified as being part of the food chain. In fact, many kids have probably already observed one or more of them already. This places them in order as well as highlighting interesting facts. For example, I was unaware of how to tell the difference between dragonflies and damselflies. This is not only a good book for libraries, it's one that could be taken along on nature explorations to reinforce what kids see.
