Are you ready for another perfect pair of books to read together? This time I'm pairing a picture book story with a nonfiction book.
Zonia's Rain Forest by Juana Martinez-Neal (2021)
Enjoying days spent with animal friends near her home in the Amazon, young Zonia wonders what to do on a day when the rainforest calls out to her for help. This title is also available in Spanish.
Anteaters, Bats & Boas: The Amazing Rainforest from Forest Floor to the Treetops by Roxie Munro (2021)
Bright, realistic illustrations of a busy Amazon rain forest depict a plethora of creatures – all drawn at life size! – going about their daily lives, from a family of three-toed sloths to a four-page, forty inch wide, foldout of an anteater.
RAINFOREST BONUS!
Happy Sloth Day! by April Pulley Sayre with Jeff Sayre (03/15/22)
Take a stunning sloth’s-eye view of the world in Sayre's posthumous photo-filled delight. Come meet sloths in the rainforest canopy where these slow, gentle creatures live. See what they eat, how they hide from predators, and much more. Young readers will also learn about some of the other creatures that share this interconnected and fragile tropical forest ecosystem.
