(2) K-3 Illustrated by Alyssa Nassner. In eye-catching illustrations, lush foliage hides a host of living organisms, from canopy to forest floor. To find out what kinds of animals live in this (unspecified) tropical rainforest ecosystem, young readers can first respond to the text's questions ("What's hiding under this leaf?"), then hold up the book to a light source to see an animal's image projected through onto each right-facing page.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alyssa Nassner. An introduction to the creatures that can be found in and around tide pools, this book promises a surprise when pages are held to light. The impact is occasionally softened because while the "hidden" pictures are exposed, so is the text on the back of each page. But soothing, oceanic colors and friendly-looking animals will appeal to young readers. Further information is appended.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alyssa Nassner. An apple tree sustains its own ecosystem. In this unusual book, readers see a full-color illustration of the front of the tree, but holding the page to light reveals exquisite black-and-white woodcuts of what lies beneath the surface: a house for a woodpecker, a warren for rabbits, etc. Here's an excursion for armchair naturalists filled with information and wonder. "There's more..." information appended.
