In this fourth book in the West Coast Wild series, you will find trees as tall as twenty-storey buildings, tiny seedlings sprouting on nursery logs and brightly colored salmon spawning in streams. The salmon, as a keystone species, connect the ocean to the forest and provide a rich source of food for the bears, wolves, eagles and other creatures that live in this pristine wilderness. The remains of the fish add vital nutrients to the forest, feeding the lush green plants and trees. In turn, the thick vegetation shades the streams and protects the baby salmon that hatch and swim to the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor Deborah Hodge provides a clear and engaging look at the interdependence of the forest species and the fascinating cycles of nature in this rare ecosystem, while Karen Reczuch’s lavish watercolors show the rainforest teeming with life in shades of green that can only come from receiving more than ten feet of rain a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eillustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eauthor’s note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efurther information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efurther reading\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efacts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith prompting and support, describe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDescribe the connection between two individuals, events, ideas, or pieces of information in a text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.1.4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAsk and answer questions to help determine or clarify the meaning of words and phrases in a text.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-11-21T15:42:26-05:00","created_at":"2023-07-27T18:04:26-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 3 -
