Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I used this with my third graders in teaching a thematic unit on the rainforest.It is full of maps, activities, information, experiments, a board game, etc.It was an excellent resource that covered all parts of the rainforest. Following some of the articles is a little quiz on the reading---that was an added bonus because there was a ready-made quiz for my kids that I didn't even have to make!This book provided some great information for myself and my students.I would highly recommend it not only as a resource for a classroom teacher, but for any child who is interested in the rainforest.Outstanding!
