Rain forest homes Book

This non-fiction eye wonder read is all about the rain forest and the creatures who live in it. In the beginning, this book explains there are five layers of the forest and that each animal has its own special layer. Most of the pages highlight the region that the animal presented lives in. Many monkeys and birds live in the Emergent layer. Snakes live in the Understory. This book contains facts about animal behaviors, plant species, nocturnal animals, and camouflage.

I thought this book was vivid with bright photography and descriptive with its words. I liked it a lot. The many captions give details about animals and their behaviors. My favorite page is the one titled "In the Treetops" because it has interesting facts about monkeys and a beautiful blue butterfly.

I would use this book to help students learn about animals or habitats. The glossary in the back would be great for vocabulary words! Students could use this book to gather information for a project.
