What a lovely book, showing both in words and stunning illustrations, how connected everything in nature is.

I can see using this book to help young writers. It’s a great mentor book for writing a cause and effect story. Enjoyed it.

The simple text (i.e. "Because of an acorn...a tree") is complemented by lovely illustrations that take us through the food chain in a forest.

Ecosystem & food chain. Simple words and concept. Beautiful graphics. Facts at the end. "How to help" (be environmentally friendly) section.

Simple book that explains connections within an ecosystem. I like the idea of reading this with my students when we talk about text structures, and having them write their own sequence story with this same writing style.
