What's Wetlands About

Publisher Summary

A timely, award-winning first book on wetlands for young naturalists and conservationists. A classroom favorite! Wetlands are some of the world’s most at-risk environments today. In this addition to the award-winning About Habitats series, author and educator Cathryn Sill explores the major attributes of wetlands and demonstrates their remarkable diversity using examples from around the globe. She uses simple, easy-to-understand language to teach children what wetlands are, what kinds of animals and plants live there, and how wetlands help maintain the delicate balance of Earth’s environments.
