Maps can show many different things, and in this creative look at life science, they present readers with essential information about habitats. Clear labels and helpful keys allow readers to independently enhance their map-reading skills, while graphic organizers provide another eye-catching visual way to learn. The clear and concise blocks of main text are designed to hold readers' attention, and they're paired with fun fact boxes and detailed sidebars. In addition, full-color photographs and dynamic illustrations fill the pages, creating a fresh look at a basic biology curriculum topic.
