BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

A child is walking through the rainforest and takes careful note of all kinds of wildlife – both high up in the trees, on the ground, and in the water. 

 Lush illustrations – perfect for the rainforest backdrop. I love that the creatures are all mentioned within the book and then the backmatter gives you a tidbit about the animals – especially since the animals will be unfamiliar to most students.
