A Nature Lover's Delight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I would have given this book 5 stars except for one problem. It really needs a pronunciation guide. Even adults will have difficulty pronouncing some of the unfamiliar animals' names. That said, all else is wonderful. The illustrations give a real feel for the forest habitat and its inhabitants. The story line describes typical activities of the various animals. It is like watching a PBS documentary on wildlife! In the back of the book there is a globe of the world, with the appropriate area spotlighted, and a one page blurb about the Virunga Mountains which is directed towards adults. Then there is a beautiful four page spread of the rain forest. On the fold-over pages to the four page spread are 32 different illustrations of plants and animals that live in the forest. A beautiful & informative book. I am eager to also read the other books in this series.
