Steppes. Prairies. Pampas. A year in an endangered biome

Steppes are scattered all over the world. The steppe is always different. In winter, it frosts and the sun shines brightly. In spring, tulips bloom and birds sing. In summer, the wind smells thyme and wormwood; grasshoppers and chicks chirp in the dense grass. In the fall, the steppe is filled with the chatter of departing birds and bustle of little animals, which are getting ready for the long winter.

There is always life here, in any season! After all, the steppe biome is the native and only home for many animals and plants. Open this book and step into the wonderful and ancient world. Take a journey through time and space – across the steppes, prairies, and pampas.
