A Walk Through the Rain Forest by Martin Jenkins
The award-winning team behind Can We Save the Tiger? and Ape invites young readers to explore the breathtaking biodiversity of a Malaysian tropical rain forest.Conservation biologist Martin Jenkins and acclaimed fine artist Vicky White expertly guide readers into the complex ecosystem of Malaysia's Taman Negara. Conversational prose and photorealistic black-and-white artwork--punctuated by four jaw-dropping full-color spreads--evoke the whir of cicadas and the low call of a pheasant. Pages fill with ants and elephants, leopards and hornbills, gibbons and bats, as animals spread and fertilize seeds to help maintain a magnificent old-growth forest. Every living thing in the rain forest is interconnected, and a dazzling full-color index guide at the end of the book challenges readers to circle back and marvel at animals they may have missed in the dense foliage. Meticulously researched and visually arresting, this creative tour de force is a young conservationist's dream: the ecotour of a lifetime.
Martin Jenkins, a conservation biologist, is the author of several nonfiction books for children. He says, I first saw wild elephants in the Masai Mara Reserve in Kenya, where a big family of them was making their way across the savanna. I ve seen elephants lots of times since then, but I ll never forget that first family, strolling across the plains without a care in the world - that was magic.
Ivan Bates has illustrated many books for children. He says of GRANDMA ELEPHANT'S IN CHARGE, I have always found elephants to be fascinating creatures, capable of both extreme strength and tenderness. This, along with their mighty stature and a wonderful setting amid vast land- and skyscapes, makes them a joy to draw.
