A Prairie Food Chain

In this middle-grade nonfiction title, readers explore the North American prairie by following the links of a typical food chain, from the roots of bluestem grass to the top predator, the badger. The book uses vivid photographs and clear text to show how each organism depends on the others for survival. By tracing the flow of energy from plants to herbivores and on to carnivores, the narrative reveals the delicate balance that keeps the prairie ecosystem thriving.
