The Great Kapok Tree: A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest
I remember reading this in third grade with my teacher and our whole class. we did a whole unit on the rainforest and it fascinated me and also made me sad to learn that so much of it was in danger of being cut down and destroyed.
i'm even sadder reading it today, knowing now that of course it's not as easy as it was in the book to convince people not to destroy it for their own monetary gain.
but still i think it's important that kids continue to read the great kapok tree and books like it today because it makes them think about the wrongs that humans inflict on nature. maybe they will make conscious choices to do their part, however small, to make things better or at least not any worse.
this book is filled with beautiful illustrations of animals in the canopy of a great kapok tree. the author lynne cherry actually traveled to the amazon rainforest to do research on the illustrations in this book:)
