Trees and Plants in the Rain Forest

Children's Literature - Marilyn Thomas

This book discusses what happens in rain forests around the world, and beautiful colored photographs of plants, animals, and people working at various occupations accompany it all. The maps have wonderful captions and also there are keys to the maps indicating where rain forests are located in the world. There is even a recipe for rain forest ice cream. A teacher conducting a rain forest unit would have fun with that project. Pirotta's book also would be a wonderful addition to a child's personal library. Part of the "Deep in the Rain Forest" series. Included in the back are a glossary, further information, and an index.
