Books my granddaughter loved. - posted from ,

From the library we checked out Anteaters, "Bats & Boas The Amazon Rainforest from the Forest Floor to the Treetops" by Roxie Munro, it really fit into the lesson. For more on an American temperate rainforest she loved "A North American Rain Forest Scrapbook" by Virginia Wright-Frierson


Additional Reading - posted from Anchorage, AK

We added a lot of books to this study. I like the two selections, but my son wanted to know more, so adding in the extra reading made the unit a little bit meatier. Here are a few that we used (all checked out from our library):

Rain Forests Inside Out

Explorer Travel Guides: Rain Forests

In the Rainforest (A Let's Read and Find Out Science book) by Kate Duke

And a few storybooks:

Rain, Rain Rain Forest by Brenda Z. Guiberson

The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry
