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.
Memoria Press Curriculum in the lower grades (K-2 currently) has several titles from various levels of the Let's Read and Find Out Science series in the supplemental social studies and science book lists and lesson plans. It was through Memoria Press recommendation that I discovered the series and now we are hooked. Thus when HarperCollins started publishing new titles to add to this series I found myself very excited.
With bolded vocabulary, fun illustrations, factual pop outs fill these pages. While not every kid can jump on a plane to go adventure a rainforest, but this is like a field trip in a book.
Do you know what rainforests are used for? Do you know how they prosper? Here is a great place to find out!
