“A
rainforest is a kind of forest. Rainforests are found near the equator.”
This
very informative book tells the reader all about rainforests. The biggest
rainforest in the world is the Amazon rainforest which is largely located in
Brazil. Rainforests are hot all year long. They contain many trees and flowers,
animals, insects, and birds. Some animals live in the canopy of the rainforest.
Many people are hurting rainforests, so there are other people whose job it is
to save the rainforest.
Each
page is filled with vibrant pictures. The pictures cover a wide range of life
in the rainforests. Trees, plants, flowers, and animals are all shown in this
book. Some pages only contain one picture, while other spreads contain three to
four pictures. Most of the text placement is formal.
The
book is appropriate for all elementary school students, but early elementary
school students would benefit most from it. This book would be a terrific book
to read to your classroom while studying about rainforests. You could teach the
students how to draw a semantic web. They could each make a semantic web on the
topic of rainforests.
