School Library Journal Review

K-Gr 2-Grab a flashlight and prepare to take an adventure through the rain forest. Readers are invited to shine a light on the pages in order to answer questions and reveal surprises. Hidden images located on black-and-white spreads alternate with vivid and bright depictions of the rain forest's wealth of wildlife. Young explorers will enjoy the colorful illustrations, basic facts, and interactive elements. This latest installment in this series provides a unique addition to look-and-find type books, but the factual content is a bit on the thin side, even with a "There's More" spread at the end. VERDICT A fun read, though those seeking heavy-duty informational texts to build up their rain forest sections may want to look elsewhere.-Nicole Signoretta Sutton, Kingston Elementary School, Cherry Hill, NJ © Copyright 2015.
