What is Freshwater Habitats: Life in Freshwater Ecosystems (Watts Library) about?

<p>Although three quarters of Earth is made up of water, only three percent of that water is fresh, and only one percent of that can be used by people, plants, and animals. This book takes the reader to places freshwater is found: in lakes, in rivers, in streams, in ponds, and underground. It also explores freshwater that is frozen in glaciers, icecaps, ice flows, and icebergs. Learn how the birds, animals, and fish in the freshwater biomes depend on the water and how they rely on each other for survival.</p> <h3>Ellen R. Butts - Children's Literature</h3> <p>Many, many books have been written for children about Earth's habitats. Most have colorful photographs; many are well written. This book shares those attributes, but the author's experience as an environmentalist and writer makes it especially appealing. Readers will be intrigued to learn about how ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, and wetlands are formed, how they can be protected, and the animal and plant life they support. This book provides solid background information that encourages further exploration. Back matter includes an extensive glossary and index. This is part of the Books About Biomes and Habitats series. 2004, Wa
