Enchanting story, November 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Morpha: A Rain Forest Story (Wilderness Kids) (Hardcover)
Tennyson weaves an enchanting tale of the delicate balance of life in the rainforest. Through the senses of a blue morpho butterfly, he charms readers into discovering the layers of the rainforest, its inhabitants and their importance in the cycle of life. He presents the question of human inhabitants and their role in the cycle, and sensitively handles the issue of deforestation. The story ends on a note of hope, as Morpha learns of conservationists, who are trying to preserve the rainforest with research and sustainable farms. In addition to the lovely illustrations, a glossary of terms and teacher help page are provided to aid in integrating this story with many elementary content areas.
A must-have for any teacher's bookshelf!
