Rainforests cover only about six per cent of the Earth¿s surface, and yet they are home to more than half of all the species of plants and animals in the world. This fascinating book follows lemurs and sloths as they climb the branches of trees, and shows a viper swallowing its prey. Watch a hummingbird feed while it hovers in the air, and learn how lizards `fly¿ through the forest. Fascinating and easy-to-do projects, such as tracking animals, planting a mini-jungle and making a hammock, enable you to learn more about life in the rainforest. Measure and identify various types of trees, search for minibeasts, and learn the difference between tropical and temperate rainforests.With over 250 stunning photographs and illustrations, as well as lively and informative text by an award-winning children¿s natural history writer, this is the perfect fun learning book.
