Description
This beautiful book brings together amazing facts about rainforests, a heart-warming narrative and breathtaking illustrations.
In A Rainforest Story, young readers can explore the vibrant life of the rainforest, from the fierce predators that roam the forest floor to the brightly-coloured birds that fly above the trees. Travelling through the seasons, we meet various rainforest creatures as they are born, raise their young and settle down to hibernate through the hottest months.
Learn about the behaviour of favourite big cats such as the beautiful jaguar, and beloved animals such as capybaras and sloths. Discover how animals and plants work together to survive and thrive, like the monkeys that go from flower to flower, feeding on nectar and spreading pollen.
Beautiful story-like text by Jane Burnard of dynamic rainforest creatures are further animated by colourful illustrations by Kendra Binney that will leave children and adults poring over the pages of this book.
Explore the world's habitats and the amazing animals that live there and collect all the titles in the series with A Coral Reef Story and An Arctic Story.
