Crisp, blocky illustrations accompany short, evocative text describing fifteen Amazon animals (identified at book's end), from leafcutter ants to a jaguar. In full-page spreads, the animals are presented starkly against bold, simple-colored backdrops and alongside poetic phrases emphasizing their wildness and capturing the quiet mystery of the rainforest (jaguar: "Slowly stalking, majestic and silent"). Back matter provides scientific information on each creature.
