Rainforest (Biomes of the World) [Library Binding]

Edward R. Ricciuti (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6?Solid, straightforward resources for reports. The authors explain how forests come to be and how they change over time; their different layers; the insect and animal life they support; and present-day threats to them. Shaded pages interspersed throughout offer supplementary material on various subjects, e.g., an explanation of the petrified forest of Arizona, how a lake bed can evolve into a forest, maple syrup tapping, "strangler" vines, medicines derived from plants, careers in forestry, etc. Full-color photographs and graphs, while not spectacular, enhance the texts and supply useful additional information.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for reports, May 26, 1998

This review is from: Rainforest (Biomes of the World) (Library Binding)

Although this book is a great book for reports, it is made for younger students. Therefore, it is wise for older students to find another resource.
