Author/illustrator Karen Patkau’s text is clear and informative, while her attractive, colorful artwork encourages kids to search for the animals, birds, and insects hidden within. Each book includes a map, detailed endnotes and glossary.
The ecosystem series is a worthy addition to all home and school libraries.
Who Needs an Iceberg?
Patkau's arctic landscapes are spectacular, especially the underwater view of an iceberg.
Who Needs a Swamp?
The swamp at night-time is lovely.
Another nice spread shows spiders, ducks and alligators. Look for the duckling jumping down to the water.
Who Needs a Jungle?
Each painting is wonderfully lush and green.
