Publisher's Description

Read and find out about rainforests in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

The rainforest is home to millions of plant and animal species. Some animals live high up in the trees, some crawl across the forest floor, and some tunnel underground, but they all depend on one another and the rain to survive. With colorful illustrations and fascinating diagrams from author-illustrator Kate Duke, In the Rainforest is a lively look at the most vibrant ecosystem on our planet.

Editorial Reviews

"In this appealing picture book, two children tour a rain forest, while their friendly guide fills them in on matters such as leaf-cutter mounds, epiphytes, rainfall, and forest layers. Like the original Magic School Bus books, this upbeat volume offers information through clearly written paragraphs of text, characters’ comments in speech balloons, and illustrated fact boxes. An inviting book that conveys concepts simply and effectively. This informative volume from the dependable Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out science series offers an uncommonly readable introduction to rain forests. Instructions for making a terrarium are appended." - Booklist (starred review)
