CBC Showcase: Friends in the Animal Kingdom

Children learn about the wide variety of creatures lurking in the lush Amazon rainforest in this adaptation of "The Green Grass Grew All Around."

cover The Rainforest Grew All Around

by Susan K. Mitchell, illustrated by Connie McLennan

Imaginations will soar from the forest floor, up through the canopy and back down again, following the circle of life. The jungle comes alive as children learn about creatures lurking in the lush Amazon rainforest in this clever adaptation of the song "The Green Grass Grew All Around." Search each page to find unique rainforest bugs hiding in the illustrations. Delve even deeper into the jungle using sidebars and the "For Creative Minds" section, both filled with fun facts about the plants and animals, how they live in the rainforest and the products we use that come from the rainforest.
