Reviews:

"A descriptive text accompanies this lushly visual journey through the rain forest ... The text moves smoothly, stressing the interrelatedness of all lifeforms, but it is the vibrant full-color paintings that steal the show."

Booklist, June 1, 1991

Towering kapok trees shade howler monkeys and toucans while passionflower butterflies flit softly through the shadows. Meet the creatures that inhabit the dark, dewy realm of the rain forest in Diane Willow's well-written book. Brilliant paintings illustrate the colors and camouflage in this exciting introduction to the large and small animals of the Amazon rain forest.

(The Mailbox, June/July 1999)

Ecological text for ages 5-up explains the interplay of plants & animals thriving at each level of the Amazonian rainforest, from the tops of the trees to the forest floor.
