I had mixed feelings about this book. I really liked the illustrations, they were the best part of the book for me. I also liked that the language was very descriptive. However, I didn't like the way that the writing flowed through the book. I felt like there was no clear sequence or conclusion. Though I did like the big idea which was to expose children to the idea of an ecosystem and it's inhabitants. ( )
