"I really enjoyed the artwork and it clearly reflected the text. . . .Throughout the book, there are highlighted notes in boxes that give valuable information about the current subject. I also like that the animals in the artwork are labeled according to their spot in the food chain. The food web in the back of the book is a nice review of the entire book and really could be useful in a classroom

"In the book's clearly written text each animal is identified as a producer, consumer, scavenger, and omnivore. Rich greens and browns of the forest characterize Zack McLaughlin's illustrations, and his detailed acrylic paintings provide crucial context for the habitat for such animals as snake, bird, coyote, vulture, and their prey."
