Living and Nonliving series.
These books explore living and nonliving parts of a particular habitat. A simplistic text and clear photos briefly introduce each environment, before posing questions to determine if various things within it are living or not (if it needs food, water, and air and if it grows, it's living). This series is an adequate if uninspired introduction to the concept. Ind. Review covers these Living and Nonliving titles: Desert, Ocean, Polar Region, Prairie, and Rain Forest.
