Goodreads

I really liked this book. It takes you through a year in the boreal forest — the world’s largest land biome. The book is broken into the four seasons, and each section has information about plants and animals found in different countries within the boreal forest. The illustrations are striking and really bring the animals to life. After all four seasons are explored, there are several pages with further scientific information: the water cycle, the carbon cycle, and information about the effects of climate change on the boreal forest. There is also a glossary as well as resources for further reading and study. Recommended for 3rd grade and up.
