Wildfires

A raging wildfire can be a major disaster, costing lives and destroying homes. But fires in nature can help as well as harm, clearing forests of dead trees and allowing young plants to grow. Breathtaking photos highlight this surprising look at fire’s part in maintaining the balance of nature. This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice for homeschooling and classroom units on natural disasters, in particular for children ages 6 to 8. It’s a fun way to learn to read and as a supplement for activity books for children.
