(4) 4-6 Biomes of North America series. Illustrated by Phyllis V. Saroff. The plants, animals, and climate of these four biomes are discussed in a text accompanied by attractive color photos and black-and-white spot illustrations. While questions posed to the reader ("Wait--hear that?") are somewhat distracting, the simple design and clearly written, informative text will appeal to readers who enjoy nature. Bib., ind.

With attractive color photos, black-and-white spot illustrations, and a simple design, the plants, animals, and climate throughout the year of these two biomes are discussed. Although the books are clearly written, the pretense of the reader actually being on the tundra or in the forest ("Hear that rustling sound?") is sometimes distracting. Bib., glos., ind.
