This reader is one of the many in the National Geographic Kids collection.  As a Level 2 Reader; it is appropriate for a young reader ready for longer sentences and more complex vocabulary.  It is an informative book complete with interesting photographs and text. It covers information about rainforests and the animals and plants that make their home there.  It addresses why it is important to preserve these unique treasures and some famous rainforests in the world. Throughout the book  are riddles and a short quiz  and glossary at the end. There are boxes on some pages labeled “Rainforest Talk” that give more detailed definitions of words that are used. This is a bit complex for a level 2 reader, but an adult could assist with the text. The National Geographic Readers are always filled with captivating pictures  and facts and make learning fun for any young reader.
