This book is VOL. 12. No one can be indifferent to seeing the beauty of the exotic flowers and butterflies or to hear the birds squabbling in the rain forest before the evening storm. No one can be indifferent to the unbelievable red, yellow and green winged rainbow of colors, to the web of life sensed everywhere in the tropics, and especially in the Amazon rain forest. The Amazon rain forest is a very special place. It is home to unique biodiversity and natural inter-dependency. This is the place where an unknown number of flowering plants, birds and butterflies reside in the canopy--the leafy roof of the world's rain forest. Filled with real-life beautiful color illustrations, this book is an excellent resource to introduce the whole family to the wide variety of plant, bird and butterfly life in the lush canopy of the Amazon rain forest. This book is highly recommended for elementary and middle level schools, community libraries, and collectors of The Amazon Exploration Series.
