Synopses & Reviews
Synopsis
Written and illustrated by a 14 year-old in 1992, this best-selling book has introduced a whole generation to the wonders of a very important habitat.
Following XYZ the Ant, young readers walk through the alphabet and engage in fun alliterations about the amazing anteater, majestic macaw, and quiet quetzal along with the other inhabitants they encounter in the rainforest. The colorful illustrations were done in magic marker. It reaches a large age range because the large text is for young readers, while smaller text is for you or more advanced children. Kristin Joy Pratt (A Swim through the Sea) once again successfully inspires a generation of children about one of the most precious and fragile realms on Earth. A 48-page teachers guide (sold separately) is a valuable educators companion.
Please note: The text of the board book edition is simplified. In addition it does not include the sidebar information about the animals that appears in the hardback and paperback editions.
Synopsis
This gorgeous book was written by a 14 year-old environmentalist in 1992 who was able to inspire a whole generation of children about one of our planet's most precious and fragile realms. It will continue to teach the next generation about the beauty and value of the rainforest.
Young readers are guided through the alphabet as they engage in fun alliterations about many of the animals one encounters in the rainforest. Following XYZ the Ant, children learn about anteaters, macaws, quetzals and many other inhabitants of the rainforest. Large text with content for younger readers and smaller text with content for more advanced readers allows for classroom scaffolding and the ability to reach a larger age range. Kristin Joy Pratt-Serafini once again successfully inspires many children to become invested in our rainforest.
A perfect book for:
- parents and teachers needing homeschool supplies for kindergarten (or any grade )
- anyone looking for Amazon Rainforest books for kids
- anyone looking for children's books to help instill an appreciation of our planet
