(4) YA Odysseys in Nature series. Illustrated with glossy, artistic photos, each slim volume features a continuous, sequential narrative of a food chain, beginning with a producer (plant) and moving through varied predators. For example, Prairie starts with bluestem grass and progresses through the differential grasshopper, prairie shrew, bull snake, and badger. Whole-page inserts about other species, such as the red-tailed hawk, somewhat interrupt the narrative flow. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Odysseys in Nature titles: A Desert Food Chain, A Mountain Food Chain, A Prairie Food Chain, A Rainforest Food Chain, An Arctic Tundra Food Chain, and An Ocean Food Chain.
