Clarion 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.

The Great Kapok Tree is a gorgeous living book that beautifully tells the story of a tropical rainforest while emphasizing the importance of conservation in ways that even the youngest learners will appreciate. This book speaks to everyone and will spark discussion with learners ranging from K-6.

Great book to teach children the value of trees, and the coexistence of everything in nature

Lovely book, great message & illustrations. You can read it calmly & softly as the animals one by one whisper in the man's ear telling him why he shouldn't cut down the tree using a different voice for each creature. Nice book to lull a child to sleep & had quite a profound effect on my 8 yr old with regard to looking after our planet for future generations (they had read it at school) definitely a 'keeper' to be passed down. The Learning Tree is a book I had years ago as a child explaining how we should look after our planet, not drop litter etc (which you probably can still find) & was impacting on both my children too.

A nice story including loads of information to even tell the little ones and the teenagers in class about the tropical forests! A must have!
