[A] good first stop in the research process. NSTA RecommendsColorful pictures are abundant, and each page contains lots of valuable information. . . .This book is a great source of information for students. A glossary is given as well as an index. The last page contains even more resources, such as the names of wildlife parks, tropical gardens, conservation groups, and documentaries and movies for learning more about rainforests. This book may also attract older readers because of the striking visuals.
