Book Review: “In the Rainforest” #HarperCollins

Disclosure:  I received this book to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

In the Rainforest (Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2)

Publisher: Jared Chapman (September 2, 2014)

Format:  Hardcover

40 Pages

The rainforest is home to millions of plant and animal species. Some animals live high up in the trees, some crawl across the forest floor, and some tunnel underground, but they all depend on one another and the rain to survive. With colorful illustrations and fascinating diagrams from author-illustrator Kate Duke, In the Rainforest is a lively look at the most vibrant ecosystem on our planet.

This is a Stage 2 Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science book, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for children in the primary grades and supports the Common Core Learning Standards and Next Generation Science Standards. Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science is the winner of the American Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books & Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.

This is a great book that features facts and information about the rainforest and everything in it.  My 8 year old lately has been very interested in science and the outdoors, this has become his new favorite book.  While he is not good yet at reading the paragraphs on the pages, he can read most of it and there are tons of pictures in the book filled with facts.  The characters in the books are kids who are performing science tasks which shows too that my son can do anything if he puts his mind to it!  It is a very cute book that is both educational and fun to read.  I never heard of the Let’s Read and Find Out Science series but I am definitely interested in now for my kids!

BUY IT:  Check out In the Rainforest (Let’s-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) on Amazon or look for it for wherever books are sold.
