Life Cycles: Polar Lands

Although they are deceptively stark, the world's Polar Regions support a surprisingly diverse range of wildlife. This book explores how ten of these creatures from both poles--including the arctic fox, the polar bear, the ringed seal, and the arctic tern--are all interrelated in three polar food chains. Along with a clear explanation of each lifecycle, the book highlights three key facts about each animal, and color-codes the food-chains for easy navigation. The beautiful photography, accessible design, and age appropriate writing make this the perfect introduction to understanding the delicate balance of this extreme and environmentally sensitive habitat.
