A Walk in the Rainforest

Kristin Joy Pratt-Serafini

Sourcebooks, Incorporated, 1992 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 31 pages

This gorgeous book was written by a 14 year-old environmentalist in 1992 who was able to inspire a whole generation of children about one of our planet's most precious and fragile realms. It will continue to teach the next generation about the beauty and value of the rainforest.

Young readers are guided through the alphabet as they engage in fun alliterations about many of the animals one encounters in the rainforest. Following XYZ the Ant, children learn about anteaters, macaws, quetzals and many other inhabitants of the rainforest. Large text with content for younger readers and smaller text with content for more advanced readers allows for classroom scaffolding and the ability to reach a larger age range. Kristin Joy Pratt-Serafini once again successfully inspires many children to become invested in our rainforest.

A perfect book for:

• parents and teachers needing homeschool supplies for kindergarten (or any grade!)
• anyone looking for Amazon Rainforest books for kids
• anyone looking for children's books to help instill an appreciation of our planet!

About the author

Kristin Joy Pratt-Serafini first connected her love of art with her concern for the rainforest when she wrote and illustrated A Walk in the Rainforest as a freshman in high school. Since then, she has written and illustrated several other environmentally-focused books for children. She hopes her colorful paintings will get kids excited about going outside and exploring for themselves. Kristin first visited the BEN in 1997 as a college student, and was excited to go back with Rachel 10 years later, in March of 2007. As she wrote the story about Anna and Peter, and painted the animals and plants they saw, she could picture every step of their adventure through the rainforest... because she had just been to the BEN herself! Rachel took her on the same hike described in the story. She even saw the Rufous-eyed Stream Frogs on the night hike with Mark!
