A vibrant, lushly illustrated exploration of a rain forest and all its breathtaking wonders. Welcome to the green house, where day and night, the melodic prattle of exotic animals fills the air. The rich hues and tones described in the text explode in each illustration, and with every turn of the page, readers can feel the heat and vibrancy of this tropical paradise. "Unlike the plethora of contrived or sentimental books on the subject, this one is simplicity itself -- eloquent and effective". -- Kirkus Reviews *"The next best thing to a guided tour". -- School Library Journal, starred review "A strikingly vibrant package". -- Publishers Weekly
I felt that this was a wonderful book. I read this book to a third grade classroom and they all loved the story. They especially loved the illustrations. I loved the way all the animals seemed to blend in with with the plants. I would recommend this book to everyone. This book is a must see for all children and adults.
