Product Description
Beneath the rain forest's treetops, you'll find the home of at least half of the earth's animal species. You'll see plants that cure diseases, towering trees that reach 300 feet, and cultures that have existed for over 40,000 years. Learning about our most complicated ecosystem is easy with this lush, colorful glimpse under the green umbrella. Ages 3-up.

Customer Reviews:
 Gail should hire an illustrator or a photographer ! July 23, 2000
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
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.
 An excellent, accurate book April 11, 2000

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.
