Living Things and Their Habitats - Böcker

As aphids suck nectar from the stems of plants, a ladybird leaves its winter hiding place to start munching on aphids. As worms wriggle through the soil helping to bring nutrients and rainwater to the roots of the garden’s trees, a robin hunts for worms to feed to its chicks. And when autumn arrives, seeds from the sunflowers and fruit from the old apple tree become food for birds and mice. Step by step, readers will explore a garden habitat and discover how all the living things form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.

As a little water vole feeds on bulrushes, a mother duck uses these plants as a safe place to hide her eggs. As newly-hatched tadpoles nibble on algae, dragonfly nymphs go hunting for tadpoles! And as frogs sit on lily pads to stay safe from big fish that want to eat them, small fish swim under the lily pads to hide from birds that are hunting at the pond. Step by step, readers will explore a pond habitat and discover how all the living things form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.

As fish and other rock pool animals feed on seaweed, crabs use the seaweed as a place to hide from predatory seabirds. As barnacles feed on microscopic plankton, dog whelks go hunting for barnacles. And after an oystercatcher eats a dog whelk, a hermit crab that’s grown too big for its shell, moves home into the empty shell left behind by the dog whelk! Step by step, readers will explore a rock pool habitat and discover how all the living things form an ecosystem and rely on each other for survival.
