Pass the Energy, Please! - Learn the Basics of the Food Chain and Transfer of Energy

Pass the Energy, Please! by Barbara Shaw McKinney, illustrated by Chad Wallace

Each of nature's creatures "passes the energy" in its own unique way. In this upbeat rhyming story, the food chain connects herbivores, carnivores, insects and plants together in a fascinating circle of players. All beings on Earth - from the anchovy to the zooplankton - depend upon the green plant, which is the hero of the story. Barbara McKinney's special talent shines again for being able to present the science curriculum so consisely, creatively, and cleverly.
