Rainforest

Ages 9 to 12, Grades 4 to 7

Explore the most abundant habitats on Earth, bursting with plants and animals of every shape and size.

Rainforest reveals the dizzying diversity of life in these fascinating forests. Caiman and capybara crowd Amazon riverbanks, ants scare off elephants in the Congo, and birds and butterflies flit through the treetops of Costa Rica. Mountain gorillas feast on bamboo in Rwanda, bears bound through Alaskan temperate rainforest, and orangutans swing in Indonesia. Of course, none of these would exist without the lush plant life – soaring kapok trees, sturdy teak, and tenacious epiphytes throng the forests. A thousand orchids bloom in dazzling colors, and emerald-bright mosses coat damp branches.

Packed full of iconic animal species, this book shows life on Earth at its most vivid and vibrant. Perfect for children and parents to read together and discover the incredible diversity of rainforest life.
