About

This book takes a simple look at what it means to live by a river. It examines basic geographical features, why people choose to live there, and the risks people might have because of living by a river, such as flooding. The book also looks at how people adapt to living by rivers and the different things both adults and children do in their daily lives, from getting a boat to travel places to going swimming!

    Reviews

    "Through an appealing combination of clear prose and colorful photos, this set introduces emerging readers to life in or near some of Earth's most common geographic features and landforms. . . .Demonstrating how physical geography affects human settlement, this series is a solid choice for elementary libraries."
    School Library Journal
    "The books explain the types of plants and animals that occupy the land, the climate of the area, modes of transportation, how the school systems are run, and the job market. The photos are beautiful and provide the reader a clear image of the featured region."
    School Library Connection
