1. Rating: 4 2. A book review from School Library Journal says, "This beautiful book describes a wide assortment of bugs, fish, birds, reptiles, and other animals; includes a short fact about each; and also mentions some jungle plants. What makes the title unusual is each spread's half-page flaps that list questions about the animals. The questions are thought-provoking and the answers, which are often illustrated, are short but complete. Soft pen-and-ink and watercolor paintings, such as one that shows a caiman about to have a couple of capybaras for dinner, depict the animals in everyday scenes. While this is not a book for reports, it has enough information to give readers an overview of the subject." 3. This book has fantastic illustrations and great information on all different types of animals that live in the jungle. It gives facts about what some of the animals eat, where they sleep, what they do during the day, etc. It uses simple language that many students would be able to understand as well. I would recommend it to third or fourth graders.
