What is the strangest plant in the rain forest? Which rain forest
animal is the creepiest? What medicines have been discovered there?
How can we save our rain forests? Find out the answers to these
questions and more in Magic Tree House Research Guide: Rain
Forests, Jack and Annie’s very own guide to the mysteries of the
rain forest. Includes information on rain forests around the world;
fun facts about rain-forest bugs, birds, plants, and animals; maps
and photographs; and much more!
From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-In this companion to Afternoon on the Amazon Random,
1995, Jack and Annie encourage readers to undertake their own
research related to the rain forest, and that is excellent advice.
With the number of full-color, larger-format titles available on
the topic, it is hard to justify sticking with the brief
introduction and small, black-and-white photos this book offers.
Drawings of the children appear somewhere on almost every page, and
perhaps their die-hard fans will slog along to keep them in view.
However, the book doesn''t even provide detailed information on some
plants and animals that play an important role in the fictional
adventure. For example, the frightening vampire bats and piranhas
the children encounter are barely mentioned. The mango, which is
the item they need to bring back from their adventure, isn''t even
included in this title. Tips for research and lists of books,
museums, videos, and Web sites could be useful, but it''s hard to
recommend purchasing a resource that lacks the attributes necessary
to do its own subject justice.
