Description
This paperback picture book is covered in illustrations. There is an
illustrated map to show where the Amazon Rainforest is and illustrations of
animals in the story labeled with their names. In the beginning of the story,
you get to learn a couple environmental facts about rainforest layers. Overall,
this book seeks to teach lessons about rainforest conservation and wildlife. It
stresses how many parts of an ecosystem depend on each other and how much all
the animals depend on a single tree. In the back of the book are suggestions
about how to help save energy and preserve rain forests through small acts at
home, or larger acts in your community. 40 pages. ~ Kathryn
Publisher's Description of Great Kapok Tree: Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest
Lynne Cherry journeyed deep into the rain forests of Brazil to write and illustrate this gorgeous picture book about a man who exhausts himself trying to chop down a giant kapok tree. While he sleeps, the forest’s residents, including a child from the Yanomamo tribe, whisper in his ear about the importance of trees and how "all living things depend on one another" . . . and it works.
Cherry’s lovingly rendered colored pencil and watercolor drawings of all the "wondrous and rare animals" evoke the lush rain forests. Features stunning world maps bordered by detailed illustrations of fascinating rainforest creatures.
