Comment:
I am a huge fan of Eyewitness books so this one is no different, it's great! I liked the way it covered the plants and animals in the forest and how people have benefited from them. It is amazing that so many life forms survive in one concentrated area. The book is very good at discussing rain forests all over the world and providing us with a glimpse where people in mass numbers couldn't possibly be welcome. I loved the book and my students will too.

Comment:
This book was exactly right for an eight year old boy who is VERY interested in rainforests. In fact, there is even a large picture of a bluc and yellow macaw on one page, and that is (at least at the time he got the gift)his FAVORITE rain forest animal.
