It may seem like there's very little life in the desert. However, many living things call this biome home! Readers meet them as they explore the food chains that connect to form a detailed desert food web. Examples of producers, consumers, and apex predators are presented through at-level text and vivid photographs. In addition, fact boxes highlight the relationships between living things in the desert—including what eats what! Clearly labeled food chains and food webs are included to help readers visualize this concept, and critical-thinking questions invite them to apply what they've learned to the world around them.
