Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-Although simple in outlook and format, this is not a simplistic book. Covering all of the basic aspects of rainforest ecology, the people who live there, and the problems inherent in the destruction of these areas, the authors present a clear picture of the importance of maintaining them. The illustrations, however, are primitive and garishly colored. With so many beautiful titles available on this topic, many of which include photographs of rainforest animals and plants, this one is a marginal purchase.

Review

Bright color drawings and surprisingly realistic presentations grace a rainforest guide which covers plants, animal and peoples of the rainforest. Young learners will relish the easy one-line descriptions of exciting animals and creatures to be found in the rainforest. -- Midwest Book Review

This review is from: Life in the Rainforest: Plants, Animals, and People (Discovery Readers) (Hardcover)

I liked the book since I was doing a report on the rainforest animals and I liked it because I enjoy reading about other parts of the world.Most of all I read it because its for a grade in science and language arts.
