The three books in this wonderful new series of nonfiction for young readers explore the role of ecosystems in the health of the animals and plants that live within each habitat. This book will appeal to schools and libraries, and young nature lovers of all shapes and sizes.

Tundra introduces the first three books in its important new ecosystems series. Each title celebrates the world’s diversity by presenting a different ecosystem: its land and water, its animals and plants. The art is brimming with creatures and ecological features, described in fact-filled notes at the end of each book and in a useful glossary and map.
 
Who Needs an Iceberg? The Arctic ecosystem is changing rapidly. The Arctic Ice Cap is melting, the habitat for the creatures that live in the north is shrinking, and the earth is warming up. The impact is enormous for all of us.

Not only is each book informative and beautiful, but it is a call to action for everybody who cares about the world in which we live.

Praise for Who Needs an Iceberg?

Praise for CREATURES YESTERDAY AND TODAY
"...the amazing science will engage dinosaur fans with the wonder of evolution and the evidence of fossils. A time chart and a world map showing the distribution of the prehistoric creatures and fossils wrap up the text, which will be wonderful for beginning classroom science discussions." - Booklist

Praise for CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL:
"Good non-fiction books teach youngsters something new. This book bombards readers with something new on every page. Patkau's illustrations are vibrant and have a distinct layering quality that makes them look three dimensional." -The Chronicle Herald, Halifax
"Sharp lines, bold colors, and careful composition of the computer-generated art successfully convey the rich variety of creatures and environments, accentuating similarities and differences. Labeled illustrations at the back of the book introduce concepts of scale in a clear and inviting way."
-School Library Journal
