In the Rain Forest

By Catherine Nichols

Nature is full of mysteries to be uncovered and wonders to be explored. The eighteen titles in this reading series plunge early readers into the endless fascination of the natural world. An array of important scientific concepts such as camouflage, habitat, identification of species and life cycles are presented in the simplest of words. A wonderfully clear and inviting text and a wealth of dazzling photographs result in an accessible format that invites repeat visits. Each title begins with a word list alerting readers to key words that will follow and ends with Fun with Phonics -- an excellent tool for parents and teachers -- and Fun Facts that will gently challenge young readers with extra items of interest.

Fun and informative

Each page has one clear, bright, and eye catching photo and one or two sentences. The photo of the huge, purple Fungus Beetle is unforgettable. Even though the book is intended for new readers, it presents interesting information about the animals, insects, and plants in rain forests. In the Rain Forest also mentions the importance of rain forests. Includes "Fun with Phonics", "Fun Facts", and a short Glossary/Index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
