Marla Conn, Educational Consultant —"These books are fabulous examples of informational text. Each book contains a table of contents, glossary, and index.  They have interesting content, great picture/text support, and wonderful use of side text and headings. They are grade appropriate and correlate to the classroom curriculum for grades 4–6. " 

Children's Literature Review—"This volume from the “Endangered Biomes” series seeks to accomplish two goals with one book. Readers are educated on the Earth’s biomes and the growing environmental concerns facing all corners of the earth. The author manages to pack a ton of information into just twenty-seven pages. With a layout that resembles a scrapbook, information is presented in small, visually appealing doses. First presenting a definition of biomes and the deciduous forest biome in particular, the author then moves on to discuss the landscape and climate of the forest, plant and animal adaptations to the biome and current environmental threats. . .They layout of the book is particularly appealing. Information is presented in short paragraphs, often headed by a question and surrounded by colorful photographs. This is an excellent introduction to the deciduous forest biome for elementary readers and useful for report writing, but will also appeal to non-fiction readers who are interested in the subject as well."
