Reviews
“This book is a child’s introduction to the world of a tropical rain forest. . . . It vividly describes his exhilarating journey as he explores the unparalleled beauty and biodiversity of the rain forest. Readers will enjoy this picturesque introduction to the exotic and endangered species of the tropical rain forest. On each page of this colorful presentation, scientific names are listed and a concise description of the unique structural adaptations of animals and plants are also given. . . . Throughout the book, an interesting dialogue takes place as plants and animals are described and children’s pictures are displayed with behavior similar to the animals. . . .”
