Review
"Filled with fun and informative activities teaching what rainforests are, what kinds of plants and animals live in them, why the rainforests are important, how they are threatened, and how we can help save them." (Children's Bookwatch, Jun 97.)
"Combines learning about the environment and fun." (NEA Today, Sept 96.)
"Author Toni Albert trekked through the rainforests of Costa Rica to do research for this book. And this book is not just for reading--it's an activity book packed with nature experiments, crafts, recipes, puzzles, riddles, mazes, and quizzes. What better way to learn about the rainforests and their plight--and what you can do to help save them." (Girls' Life, Feb/Mar 95.)
"This 'active learning guide for kids' is a good resource for fourth-through-eighth-grade teachers planning to include rainforest education in their curriculum." -- Rainforest Action Network: World Rainforest Report, Dec 94. --This text refers to the Pamphlet edition.
Book Description
The Remarkable Rainforest, written to help kids learn about the plight of rainforests, is packed with activities. Kids can grow a mini-rainforest that makes its own rain, learn how to get a "crocodile eye," make a paper bromeliad that holds live tadpoles, or go on a rainforest scavenger hunt. Children love the author's "Rainforest Journal" about her experiences in the rainforests of Costa Rica. The Remarkable Rainforest is meticulously researched, contains up-to-date information, beautiful photos and artwork, and helpful references, including a glossary, a bibliography of books for kids about the rainforest, and lists of environmental organizations and rainforest exhibits. Great teacher resource! Reproducible pages. Grades 3-8.

Great teaching tool!, May 30 2007
By D. Hurst "tweety" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Remarkable Rainforest: An Active-Learning Book for Kids (Paperback)
I used this with my third graders in teaching a thematic unit on the rainforest. It is full of maps, activities, information, experiments, a board game, etc. It was an excellent resource that covered all parts of the rainforest. Following some of the articles is a little quiz on the reading---that was an added bonus because there was a ready-made quiz for my kids that I didn't even have to make! This book provided some great information for myself and my students. I would highly recommend it not only as a resource for a classroom teacher, but for any child who is interested in the rainforest. Outstanding!

This review is from: The Remarkable Rainforest: An Active-Learning Book for Kids (Paperback)
When I ordered this book I wasn't too sure it was going to fit into our study of the rainforest. however, when it arrived in the mail and we actually got to review the book in person, we were very pleased with it. If you are a teacher or homeschool parent and are going to be doing a study of the rainforest with your children, then this is a good book to have. it is full of worksheets and fun pages.
