Synopsis
Come explore the rain forest! The Scholastic Science Readers series was created especially to bring exciting nonfiction to beginning readers. Illustrated with full-color photographs.
Young readers can take a journey through the rain forest and discover the wide variety of plants, insects, animals and people that inhabit these tropical areas.
From the weather to the "layers" of the forest, and from praying mantises to howler monkeys, kids will see how the plants and creatures work together to maintain life in this amazing ecosystem. They will also learn how people can upset the balance of life in the rain forests, endangering their future.

From School Library Journal
Gr 5-8--Filled with facts and interesting science projects, these books discuss the wide variety of life found in specific biomes. Most illustrations are in full color, and the many charts and graphs add to the presentations. A ``Resources'' section suggests additional reading and names organizations involved in the preservation or study of the ecological areas. An unusual feature is a listing of companies that sell conservation-oriented products and books. In spite of the fact that the introductions to all three volumes are identical, these titles are thorough overviews of specific living communities and are naturals for reports and projects.
