The author/illustrator team of Phyllis Root and Betsy Bowen have produced another winner about Minnesota ecosystems--this time the native prairie of southern and western Minnesota. Readers are encouraged to plant a pocket of prairie to help reestablish that rich ecosystem of birds, insects, flowers, grasses and other features that we have nearly lost. Back matter includes more information on the plants and animals featured, as well as the prairie ecosystem in general. A great classroom resource for intermediate level science or social studies units studying Minnesota ecosystems.
