About this title

Synopsis

The Remarkable Rainforest, written to help kids learn about the plight of rainforests, is packed with activities. Kids can grow a mini-rainforest that makes its own rain, learn how to get a "crocodile eye," make a paper bromeliad that holds live tadpoles, or go on a rainforest scavenger hunt. Children love the author's "Rainforest Journal" about her experiences in the rainforests of Costa Rica. The Remarkable Rainforest is meticulously researched, contains up-to-date information, beautiful photos and artwork, and helpful references, including a glossary, a bibliography of books for kids about the rainforest, and lists of environmental organizations and rainforest exhibits. Great teacher resource! Reproducible pages. Grades 3-8.
