Rain Forests (Magic Tree House Research Guide)

I bought this as a supplement to our rainforest unit after we read “Afternoon on the Amazon” as a class. The kids loved it!! It even has colored pictures which was perfect for my first graders.

We love all the research guides for MTH. They are written at a higher Lexile level than the stories but it makes them fun to read together. My 6 year old doesn't have the patience to read through a research guide the entire way through on her own but together it makes for a fun project...she gets to tell me about what happened in the story to Jack & Annie and together we learn some fun facts about whatever time/place the story was about.

Awesome series for my 4 1/2 year old son. We love the stories, but I especially love the research guides that go along with the stories. I love seeing my son so interested in learning!

This is a great book to begin learning about ecosystems with. The students learn a lot of neat facts. Jack and Annie make everything more interesting!

Our girls read this after a trip to the Amazon, and found lots that they recognized & enjoyed. The standard of information is rather higher than that in the Magic Tree house books, which is reasonable, given that they don't have to worry about plot & characters as well! If your child enjoys Magic Tree house, and would like to know more about the Amazon this is fine, but I would also recommend One Small Square: Tropical Rainforests (by Donald Silver). We took this with us to the rainforest (see review) and found it to be excellent.

This book is absolutely a perfect introduction into non-fiction books. My son loves the ease of reading and yet I feel it is challanging and educational. Very nicely written! Also, shipping was fast and on time.

I ordered 4 and received 5, I ordered 4 of the Polar Bears and received 3

Very good book, but not for preschoolers.

前半は(熱帯)雨林の気候や生物の解説で、生き物が苦手な人は次々に登場する専門用語にちょっと抵抗があるかもしれませんが、仮に日本語での名称が全くわからなくても、意味内容は十分理解できます。白黒ですが写真も豊富です。後半は、昔から雨林で生活してきた民族の生活を紹介し、その生活と大切な雨林を先進国の人々がいかに勝手に破壊してきたのか、なぜ雨林を守らなければならないのか、守るにはどうすればよいのか、子供たちに訴える内容です。(熱帯)雨林に関して、幅広い知識を得られる入門書です。
