The Great Kapok Tree: A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest

Children love this story and understand the basic premise (the importance of preserving the beauty of the natural world and our environment). I highly recommend this book. It has beautiful illustrations and a great storyline.

Good general purpose book for classroom library. Good condition. Arrived quickly.

My favorite book on the Amazon rainforest, and the importance of not killing trees for the sake of the world environment.

I read this book to my children over twenty five ago. Just bought it for my first grandchild and it’s even more relevant today! The illustrations are beautiful and each picture tells its own story. Will definitely purchase again.

Love how this book teaches my kids about the rainforest, animals and plants, as well as the importance of protecting the earth. Illustrations are beautiful

This book did a wonderful job of showing how the animals of the rainforest depend on each other and the resources of the rainforest to live. I love how the book left you thinking about the man in the story and his decision not to cut down the tree. I used this in my classroom as a resource to show how/why the rainforest is endangered. The pictures in this book are great and really helped my students visualize what the rainforest looks like. I would recommend this book to any elementary classroom working on food chains, endanagered animals, or saving our environment.

Vivid art work and a great story to interest kids of all ages. I actually found that my middle school students loved this book when I was teaching. I recently bought it for my 5 year old niece as it was such a favorite of mine. She loved the pictures and story, but think she will get more out of the story as she ages.

A lot of words but great book
