Condition: FINE. First thus- a trade paperback. Reprint in the Web of Life series of a book named an "Outstanding Science Trade Book for Children" by the National Science Teachers Association when it was originally published in 1994. "Lyrical words and lush, naturalistic paintings introduce children to the tropical rain forest and the animals that live within its wet, green world. From swinging monkeys and upside-down-hanging sloths to graceful caimans and stalking jaguars, [this book] envelops young readers in a stunning jungle while teaching them an important lesson about the ecosystem.

Michael Rothmans deeply hued and shadowed paintings brilliantly evoke this singular environment." SIGNED on the title page by the author, Madeleine Dunphy. Oblong format, unpaginated. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.…
