Publisher Description: An eye-catching, kid-friendly exploration of marshes, swamps, and the plants and animals that thrive there. With her signature combination of bright, clearly-labeled watercolor illustrations and accessible text, Gail Gibbons introduces wetlands-- what they are, why they're important, and the birds, fish, and wildlife that make their homes in these unique ecosystems. Comparing and contrasting the different types of wetlands, Marshes & Swamps explores the basics of wetland formation, the differences between salt- and freshwater ecosystems, and what types of plants and trees flourish in each. Also included is an introduction to wetland conservation, a map of major swamp and marshlands in the United States, and a page of marsh and swamp facts. Perfect for elementary students, Marshe & Swamps will have you on the lookout for wetlands wherever you travel. |
