Basic general information is presented in eight chapters: #1 What is a Biome?, #2 Landscape and Climate of the Coniferous Forest, #3 Plants Growing in the Coniferous Forest have Adapted, #4 Animals Living in the Coniferous Forest have Adapted, #5 Environmental Threats, #6 Biodiversity at Risk, #7 The Future of the Coniferous Forest, and #8 Conservation Challenge. Each chapter averages 4 pages in length, generously sprinkled with labeled photos of coniferous forest animals, “Words to Know” which match the glossary section word for word, “Word Exploration”, and “Did You Know?” trivia.

The ratio of picture to text appears to be equal. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the readers will love this form of information!
