Timeless: Three children embark on a day long trek through the Amazonian rainforest
The Amazon rainforest is one of the most fascinating places on earth. Still so much to discover and yet even now the number of animals and plants which inhabit this most magical place is a joy to discover.
Roaming in the rainforest would be an adventure whether for real or via a book but this book is the best of both worlds for the drawings and words evoke the rainforest – its sights sounds and smells. From the chattering monkeys to the crouching Jaguars, this is a visual and immersive journey into the jungle with a sense of wonder that only children can see.
If you’ve even wondered what the animals get up to during a normal day in the Amazon rainforest, then this is the book for you as it takes you around each animal in turn giving a glimpse into their daily life and routine.
There’s a lot of information here about the animals and the rainforest itself so it goes further than your average picture book. It’s a great introduction to the Amazon rainforest and what life is like there – particularly as this is a place that very few of us will ever get to see. Seeing the wonder of this place through a child’s eyes adds to the sense of amazement that anyone would feel going into such a place.
There is a map in the book but the booktrail gives you a sense of where this magical place is before getting this book and meeting the animals for yourself.
