"It can be easy to forget that sometimes readers just need a simple
concept, presented without bells and whistles: this book does just
that. . . This is another strong series book for the Sills and
would be a fine addition to elementary school and public
libraries." —School Library Journal
"The Sills do a good job of showing (and especially identifying)
both plants and animals. . . A solid introduction. . . " —Kirkus
Reviews
"Teachers of young children will welcome this sixth volume of the
About Habitats series. Using basic language, Cathryn Sill writes
one sentence to describe each of John Sill's beautifully detailed
color paintings. . . . This is an effective, gentle, and realistic
introduction." —Booklist
