Animals of the Grasslands
Grasslands are spectacular ecosystems. They exist where
there's too little rain for trees to grow in great numbers, but they're still
home to many animals, including ostriches and hyenas. Grasslands are called
different names in different places, such as prairies and savannas. This set
explores the adaptations that grassland animals have developed in order to
survive in these fragile and diverse ecosystems. Eye-catching photographs and
graphic organizers will draw the attention of young readers.
