A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

“The child-friendly illustrations-pen-and-ink drawings with watercolors, liquid acrylics, pencils, and pastels-make this an inviting title from cover to cover... This informative volume from the dependable Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out science series offers an uncommonly readable introduction to rain forests.” (Booklist (starred review))

“The well-informed narrative voice describes the physical divisions of the rainforest, such as the canopy and the understory, while the children’s tour guide (in conversational speech balloons) points out special features of the area, such as the living components of the leaf litter.” (The Horn Book)

“Dominated by greens and browns, Duke’s friendly cartoons effectively communicate the immense variety of plant and animal life found in rain forests and feature cutaway views and close-ups in several spreads” (Kirkus Reviews)

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The rainforest is home to millions of plant and animal species. Some animals live high up in the trees, some crawl across the forest floor, and some tunnel underground, but they all depend on one another and the rain to survive. With colorful illustrations and fascinating diagrams from author-illustrator Kate Duke, In the Rainforest is a lively look at the most vibrant ecosystem on our planet.

This is a Stage 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades and supports the Common Core Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.
