The book introduces alphabets with animals from the rainforests across the world. Each animal has an informative phrase, vulnerability status, and a fact. For example, U is for Uakari Monkey, accompanied by an expression, smiling with a bright red face. And their vulnerability category. The author repeated this format across all the alphabets. Also, placed two alphabets per spread except for sloth, which has one whole spread.

We picked this book for its intriguing cover. And, it didn't fail us - the illustrations are unique and attractive. They capture the essence of a rainforest very beautifully.
The book works better with kids of 4+ since many names can be challenging to spell. We believe we should teach young children about nature and our role in protecting it. Take a walk inside the rainforest while learning the As and Bs.
A great pick to learn alphabets and rainforest animals in a fun way.
