Meister Cari, Gray Howard. Ecosystem Food Webs. A Grassland Food Web

Amicus, 2021. — 25 p. — ISBN 9781645490821Take an illustrated narrative nonfiction journey to a North American prairie and discover how animals and plants in a grassland survive in an interconnected food web.
The wide-open prairie is home to many grass-grazing herbivores, including the prairie dog and bison. Sneaky predators, like black-footed ferrets and wolves, have to work extra hard to catch their next meal. Vibrant artwork illustrates the link between producers, consumers, and apex predators while carefully leveled text weaves a cohesive story that explains the importance of each element in the ecosystem.
A food web model summarizes the information, making this an excellent resource for Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in elementary grades. Perfect for animal lovers, nature enthusiasts, and budding science buffs.
