Welcome to an African cloud forest! As you set off down the mountain path, all you see ahead is a thick tangle of vines and bamboo trees. But the cloud forest is full of life, from a collared sunbird hovering over some flowers to a leopard stalking a giant forest hog. Day and night in the cloud forest, the hunt is on to find food - and to avoid becoming someone else’s next meal. All living things are connected to one another in a food chain, from animal to animal, animal to plant, plant to insect, and insect to animal. What path will you take to follow the food chain through the cloud forest? Will you . . . Watch a fierce honey badger battle a dangerous snake? Slink along with an African golden cat as it tails its prey? Munch on some leaves with a family of mountain gorillas? Follow all three chains and many more on this who-eats-what adventure! More About the Book… A Cloud Forest Food Chain : A Who-Eats-What Adventure in North America by Rebecca Hogue Wojahn & Donald Wojahn 64 pages • Bibliography • Full-Color Photographs • Further Reading • Glossary • Index • Maps • Table of Contents • Websites For Grades 3-5
