5.0 out of 5 stars The Rain Forest, July 6, 2000
By 
This review is from: The Rain Forest (First Discovery Book) (Spiral-bound)
It's an excellent first discovery book. It tells you a lot about the Amazon Rain forest and the river basin.

This book shows children the rain forest plants and animals and things destroying this area today. It has many colourful pictures, some on transparent flip pages. From lazy lizards to beautiful birds, from chattering capuchins to wet water lily, this book shows some of the rarest species living in the rain forest.

This book would be excellent for children under the age of eleven.

4.0 out of 5 stars Educational and fun, September 14, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
My daughter got this for her 5th birthday. She loves animals and science, and likes this book a lot. It is fun and educational to read, and the pictures and overlays are very engaging for kids. Even my 3-year-old will flip through it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent First Book on the Rainforest, November 14, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Rain Forest (First Discovery Book) (Spiral-bound)
The Rain Forest by Gallimard Jeunesse and Rene Mettler is an excellent book to introduce children to the rainforest. I like the technique of turning the plastic page to reveal the animals. Gallimard introduces food chain, camouflage, and deforestation topics in the book. There is one misleading fact in the book. Mature rainforests do not need to be cut with a machete, only the edge of the rainforest is thick.
