Staying Alive

The Science Works series use cartoon style illustrations and lively narrative text to make key topics in science both accessible and engaging. Two legs, four legs, 100 legs or none - every animal needs food to keep it alive, and all of our food comes from other living things. In this revised edition from Jacqui Bailey, we follow the story of a food chain on the grasslands of Africa. We find out how plants create their food from sunlight, the way insects feed on plants and birds feed on insects. We learn how zebras feed on grass, and lions feed on zebras and that each creature has its own source of food and forms part of the food chain. This book also contains an experiment, more great facts to know, useful websites and an index. Ideal for readers age 6+.
