Illustrated by
Lee Christiansen.
Nineteen poems impart information about various rainforest animals and some plants, from the familiar tiger to the less-well-known okapi. The poems, paired with appropriately greenish pastel illustrations, are uneven but offer an accessible, often lighthearted, cross-curriculum introduction to the rainforest habitat. Additional facts about the species and rainforests are appended.
