Rain Forests — Nancy Smiler Levinson

Children will learn all about rain forests in this gorgeously illustrated easy reader by the team behind North Pole, South Pole, a Bank Street Children's Book of the Year. Gorillas, parrots, hissing cockroaches, and iguanas make their homes in rain forests, as do thousands of other kinds of animals, birds, insects, and reptiles. There are also many trees and plants in each of the two types of rain forests (tropical and temperate). Filled with important facts, this book also uses beautiful, labeled illustrations to show life in rain forests from all over the world, such as Brazil, Costa Rica, and the Pacific Northwest of North America.
