About Habitats: Rivers and Streams<\/strong>
\nBy Cathryn Sill; illus by John Sill
\n48 pages;\u00a0ages 2-6
\nPeachtree publishers, 2019<\/p>\n

Rivers and streams are places where fresh water flows across the land<\/em><\/p>\n

From babbling brooks and mountain springs to the mighty Amazon river, this book offers a glimpse into river habitats. We see how rivers form, how they shape the land \u2013 and are shaped by it, and the diversity of wildlife and plants that live along and in these waterways. Author Cathryn Sills also emphasizes the importance of conservation, because people depend on healthy rivers too.<\/p>\n

What I like about this book<\/span>: Informative text is paired with engaging illustrations. While some are scenic, others are filled with details that will have kids spending time on the page. For example, one page introduces the concept that rivers provide food and shelter to animals \u2013 and the caption lists some animals for the reader to find in the illustration.<\/p>\n

There is back matter! As with other books in the About Habitats series, this one has six pages of more detailed information about each river illustration. There is also a glossary and a list of books and websites for further discovery. And there is Front Matter: a labeled diagram showing parts of a river basin, with simple definitions.<\/p>\n

Head over to Archimedes Notebook<\/a> for Beyond the Book activities and another book about river rescues.<\/p>\n
