Symbiotic Wildlife

Informational (nonfiction), 2,268 words, Level Z (Grade 5)
The natural world is full of complex relationships among different kinds of organisms. Symbiotic Wildlife is a nonfiction informational book that looks at how different species interact in ways that benefit each other. For example, a crocodile may open its jaws wide for a good teeth cleaning, courtesy of the small Egyptian plover bird. Many symbiotic relationships are discussed, from remora fish hitching rides on sharks to honeybees pollinating flowers. Photographs and maps support the text.
