The Everglades and the Gulf Coast

Children's Literature - Joyce Rice

The Eastern Forest is an ecosystem that beckons to the autumn tourist. Beautiful colors in the foliage of the hardwood trees-beeches, sugar maples, yellow birches, pines, hemlocks and other species are found here. Red wolves make their homes next to a variety of songbirds. This ecosystem covers the land from the eastern coast of the United States to the interior states of Missouri and Arkansas and it is beautifully and clearly described and depicted by Fielding. Part of the "Ecosystems of North America" series, this excellent book offers high-quality illustrations, maps, diagrams, glossary, further readings and even projects for middle school students. This is a not-to-be-missed series for the upper-elementary and middle school science collection.
