Who Needs a Jungle?: A Rainforest Ecosystem

32 pp. | Tundra | February, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-88776-992-4 $17.95
(4) K-3 Ecosystem series. Patkau leads readers to the conclusion that the world needs these ecosystems by explaining how each affects nature worldwide ("Without jungle plants, the earth's air temperature would rise even higher"). Colorful if synthetic-looking digital illustrations closely mirror text that is well organized and workmanlike but could use smoother transitions. Helpful diagrams throughout and appended information on inhabitants aid understanding. Glos. Review covers these Ecosystem titles: Who Needs a Jungle?, Who Needs a Swamp?, and Who Needs an Iceberg?.
