  • Interest Level: Grade 1 - Grade 2
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

This clear, simple book introduces children to the concept that living things need energy, and energy comes from food. Starting with an introduction to photosynthesis, children will follow along the food chain as the energy flows to herbivores and carnivores. A diagram, using photos of plants, a rabbit, and a fox, demonstrates a food chain. A detailed illustration of a forest food web follows.

What is a food chain? - Children's Literature

Building on knowledge from guided readers in the “My World” series in the A through G levels, this offering in the level H group focuses on food chains and reinforces concepts introduced earlier such as living things, plants, and photosynthesis. It also introduces new words and concepts like energy, chlorophyll, carnivores, herbivores, and omnivores in addition to food chains and food webs. Important words are bolded and defined. While sentences are still fairly simple, there are more sentences per page than the earlier levels.
