Nature's Green Umbrella review

GREAT BOOK! I'm a teacher and will use this as a learning tool about rainforests. The pictures alone teach a lot, and I love that it explains every level of the rainforest. Gail Gibbons does it once again!

Nature's Green Umbrella

Gail Gibbons' Nature's Green Umbrella is an excellent introduction to the climate, ecology, structure, food, and medicines of the rainforest. The book is a great resourse for the elementary classroom teacher but too much information for a picture book.

An excellent, accurate book

This book can be used as an excellent teaching tool. It provides a great introduction to the rainforests, and is full of facts about animals, medicines, and plants that are found in the rainforests.
