People in the Rainforest (Deep in the Rain Forest)

by SaviourPirotta (Author)

Synopsis

Explore the inside of a communal rainforest home, where each family has its own space to hang their hammocks and keep their possessions. This text on the people of the rainforest also looks at the threats of imported disease, and how farmers and mining companies are taking away land. It is one of a series which introduces the rain forest to children who are just starting to read on their own. Each title looks at popular topics studied in schools (for example, transport, resources and environomental threats) as well as topics that should keep the attention of young readers. Each title ends with an activity, which brings the rainforest into the young reader's own experience.
