K-3Do You Really Want to Visit...? series.
Illustrated by
Daniele Fabbri.
These quick trips through the named biomes are lightweight overviews. Hazards are prominent: the child visitors are stung, bitten, trapped in quicksand, surprised by cow pies, etc., although the cartoon illustrations soften these unpleasant experiences. The appended websites provide more information than the stories. Each book includes a world map. Reading list. Glos. Review covers these Do You Really Want to Visit...? titles: Do You Really Want to Visit a Coral Reef?, Do You Really Want to Visit a Temperate Forest?, Do You Really Want to Visit a Rainforest?, Do You Really Want to Visit a Prairie?, Do You Really Want to Visit a Desert?, and Do You Really Want to Visit a Wetland?
