About this book
A Mountain Food Chain by A.D. Tarbox examines the feeding relationships in a Rocky Mountains ecosystem, beginning with the ponderosa pine tree as the primary producer. The narrative follows the flow of energy through a series of herbivores including insects, small mammals, and deer to the mountain lion that sits atop the chain. Detailed photographs illustrate each organism and explain its role within the food chain. Targeted at middle-grade readers (grades 4-8), the book presents the scientific concepts at a reading level of 6.9.
