Lush rainforests form dense jungles with multilayered canopies and heavy, year-round rainfall. This ecology book introduces beginning readers to layered jungles where emergent trees, canopy bridges, and forest floors pulsate with activity. Aided by vivid photographs, playful facts, and comic-style speech bubbles, kids will explore rainforest features like emergent layers, understories, and riverbanks, and discover how jaguars, toucans, sloths, and epiphytic orchids survive and flourish. A labeled diagram supports visual learning and deepens understanding. Includes a glossary, index, and recommended books and websites.
