I got this book for my son, but I also work in a kindergarten and this is a good tool for teaching young children about the rainforest.

This book has been extensively reviewed and smothered in praise; I agree that it is a wonderful introduction to many topics. It can be used by teachers and homeschooling families to discuss the different sections of the rain forest canopy and the animals which inhabit it, camouflage (the jaguar), erosion and other effects of deforestation, the native peoples of the rain forest, the role of trees in producing oxygen, the concept of habitat, the concept of pollination, predators and prey, and the idea that our actions have an impact on all generations which succeed us. This can be tied in to a study of restructuring urban development to avoid sprawl, or the political debate over economic growth versus preservation of natural resources. New research is coming out about potentially valuable medications that can be made from engangered species which inhabit the rain forest; have your child analyze what might be gained versus what might be lost if we destroy this habitat. Discuss the depletion of the ozone layer. Although we don't know whether the tree was to be cut down to make way for development, to be used as lumber, or to make paper products, you can use this book to introduce the very real impact of recycling. Purchase some Seventh Generation paper products and read the quote from The Great Law of The Iroquois Confederacy:
"In our every deliberation, we must consider the impact of our decisions on the next seven generations."
The story of The Great Kapok Tree can be tied in with a social studies or science curriculum at nearly every grade level. Regardless of your child's age, don't hesitate to purchase this book.

The Great Kapok Tree is about saving the rain forest. First a man starts to cut down a tree in the rain forest with an ax. Whack, whack, whack! The sounds of the ax hitting the tree scared the animals. One by one they came down to where the man was, but the man fell asleep. A boa constrictor came down from the canopy of the tree and hissed in the man's ear, "Senhor, this tree is a tree of miracles. It is my home, where generations of my ancestors have lived. Do not chop it down."
I liked this story because it is about the rain forest. The pictures were good, too.

The Book Report on the Kapok Tree by: Lynne Cherry
I think this is a good book because it teaches people who are learning about the rainforests of what it is about and what it is like there. On a scale through 1 to 10 I think that it will be a 5th grader book. I would think that it would be a book for ages 4-10. I think this is a good book for these ages because you will learn about the rainforest and the animals that live there. It will teach kids what a rainforest is like today. It will teach kids not to do anything to hurt the animals that live there or hurt the rainforest by cutting trees down or burning it. If you hurt the rainforest then you will take our oxygen away. And you can save the rainforest by not doing it.
