Everglades Forever: Restoring America's Great Wetland

Summary: An Exciting Trip Through the Everglades
Review: Trish Marx takes us on an exciting trip through the Everglades, where we learn painlessly about an area unique in the world, a eco-system that is really "a wide, slow-moving river," filled with plants and animal life found nowhere else on Earth! Our fellow travellers are students from a school perched on the eastern edge of this environment. As fifth-graders Robert, Tiler, Vedantee and Conrado begin to appreciate the significance of their neighborhood and want to participate in preserving it, so do we.

Marx has done a first-rate job of involving young readers in the
preservation and restoration of the Everglades. This award-winning book should have a place in the ecology section of every library. Photographer Karp's images enhance and complement the the text.
