The Great Kapok Tree: A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest Paperback – Picture Book, March 13, 2000

Children love this story and understand the basic premise (the importance of preserving the beauty of the natural world and our environment). I highly recommend this book. It has beautiful illustrations and a great storyline.

A lot of words but great book

My favorite book on the Amazon rainforest, and the importance of not killing trees for the sake of the world environment.

What's not to love. This book has been around forever and is still timely. Beautifully illustrated and full of rich vocabulary that is a teacher's dream this book is a perfect intro into topics of all sorts: Rainforests, Green Living, Conservation, and how all living things are linked together. I used this book when I taught school 15 years ago and just bought another copy to read to my own children before a trip to the amazon rainforest in Peru. LOVE this book.

Love how this book teaches my kids about the rainforest, animals and plants, as well as the importance of protecting the earth. Illustrations are beautiful

Great book

My 3-6 yr old students were engaged in the text and able to feel empathy for the characters. A good read for your rainforest unit or conservation/earth day curriculum. Important message all year long! Think before acting- the impact of choices with the environment are deeper than they appear.

I read this book to my children over twenty five ago. Just bought it for my first grandchild and it’s even more relevant today! The illustrations are beautiful and each picture tells its own story. Will definitely purchase again.
