Informative and intriguing, this bestselling science book teaches children to think about the complex and interdependent web of life on Earth. Every link in a food chain is important because each living thing depends on others for survival, no matter how big or how small.

The simple, easy-to-read narrative describes food chains and food webs, and where humans fit into everything. Newbery Medal honoree Patricia Lauber’s graceful text combines with Holly Keller’s lively watercolors to bring readers into the fascinating world of who eats what.
