5.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent, accurate book
By A Customer on April 11, 2000
Format: Paperback
This book can be used as an excellent teaching tool. It provides a great introduction to the rainforests, and is full of facts about animals, medicines, and plants that are found in the rainforests.

3.0 out of 5 starsGail should hire an illustrator or a photographer !
By Amazon Customer on July 23, 2000
Format: Paperback
Ms. Gibbons is a WONDERFUL writer. Her drawings, however, are definitely not in the category of her writing. They detract from her books. I am a children's librarian and I have seen time after time that kids will avoid her books because the pictures are so unappealing. This is a shame since the text is usually outstanding. Ms. Gibbons should think about getting an illustrator or a photographer to supply an equivalent to her text. If she were to do this, her books would reach a much greater audience.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe information in the book was so interesting.
By Tammie G. on June 8, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
The book was great. We did a week long study of the rain forest and the children learned so much. We have a small mixed age group of students; third through forth grade and the students loved the book. I read the book to them and the book kept their attention. They really enjoyed learning about the many animals that inhabit the rain forest and they were surprised to learn about the plants that live in the rain forest that are used in medicine. The students ended our study by discussing ways to save our planet's rain forest. I would recommend the book to anyone.

4.0 out of 5 starsNature's Green Umbrella review
By R. Evangelista on August 13, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
GREAT BOOK! I'm a teacher and will use this as a learning tool about rainforests. The pictures alone teach a lot, and I love that it explains every level of the rainforest. Gail Gibbons does it once again!

4.0 out of 5 starsNature's Green Umbrella
By Thomas Sandusky on August 8, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Gail Gibbons' Nature's Green Umbrella is an excellent introduction to the climate, ecology, structure, food, and medicines of the rainforest. The book is a great resourse for the elementary classroom teacher but too much information for a picture book.
