PSWhy Living Things Need series.
These books explore what people, animals, and plants need to survive. Each book examines the particular life-sustaining element by defining it, explaining why it is necessary and how it functions, and presenting examples of it in use. Concise text, colorful photographs, engaging quizzes ("Which of these things does not need...?"), and a picture glossary make the information preschooler-friendly. Ind. Review covers these Why Living Things Need titles: Homes, Light, and Water.
