"All living things depend on each other for their food and habitat. In this book children will be able to observe and learn about all the food chains that link living things in an ecosystem.
Each double spread explores a different ecosystem: the kitchen garden, woodland, seashore, savannah, jungle, polar, and marine systems. On the left-hand page, colour-coded diagrams and arrows show the different food chains that exist
within each ecosystem.
On the right-hand page captivating full-page lifelike illustrations show the ecosystems in all their detail.
Readers use a “magic flashlight” (in the form of a piece of card) to “light up” and explore these darkened transparent pages, enabling them to focus on one detail at a time."
