From the anteater to the zorro... Rain forests around the world teem with life—hundreds of mammals, birds, amphibians, and fish, and millions of species of insects. Of course, only twenty-six of these countless creatures can make it into this book; Paul Kratter chooses a diverse sample from forests on five continents to capture the range of lifeforms that call Earth's rainforests home. Readers of all ages can discover this mysterious and beautiful habitat—and why it is worth saving—in this exquisitely illustrated alphabet book. Newly redesigned and reformatted with back matter including a map of rainforests around the globe and a diagram of the rainforest canopy structure.

Introduces some of the animals that live in tropical rain forests in illustrations and brief poems by a variety of poets.

From the frozen waters of the mangrove forests, to the forest canopy of the Amazon, this book explores the rainforest layer-by-layer; detailing the nimals that inhabit each space.
