Hello, my rain forest-studying friends! Did you enjoy field-tripping to the Amazon with The Shaman's Apprentice last week? Did you and your family discuss the questions that relate to the story that I posted?
If you were in the library this week, I would read to you another story about the rain forest by the same author, Lynne Cherry, who has spent a lot of time studying in the rain forest. Click HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw0arFtHeVw&t=131s to hear The Great Kapok Tree: A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest. The kapok is HUGE, so tall that it emerges above all other trees. To see a picture of a real kapok tree, click HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sTgIMQ2oDU
Speaking of kapok trees, why don't you grab a good book and read it under the TALLEST tree in your yard? Pretend it's a kapok, but watch out for boa constrictors, monkeys, toucans, and sloths!
