See my review of There's No Place Like Space All About Our Solar System for my general comments on "The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library" series.
I wasn't as impressed with this book as ...Space... It started off on the wrong foot with me on Page 2 - with a map of the Amazon rainforest representing all rainforests. Surely a world map with all the rainforests of the world highlighted would have been better. Secondly book concentrates only on tropical rainforests - which is does state, but it then...more

A lyrical look at the rain forests of the world, especially the Amazon in South America. It's a short, but informative look at the various levels of the rain forest, from the emergents, to the canopy, to the understory, and finally to the forest floor. The book depicts the conditions of life there and various animals that can be found. It's a fun book to read aloud, although we were quite disappointed that our copy was missing four pages at the end - most of the section about trying to preserve...more
I think that this book would be ideal to use to teach in 1st-5th grade. I would use it to teach ecosystems. One of the ecosystems is a rain forest. This book has great illustrations and provides plenty of great facts that are true to a rain forest. This book would definitely be used for students a resource. If I were to use it, I would use it during the Explain portion of a 5E lesson plan. It introduces vocabulary and detailed information about rain forests.
In this story, the cat in the hat explains all of the different aspects of the rainforest. I think younger students would be drawn to this book because they will recognize the cat in the hat and the familiar rhyming patterns. This book contains a wealth of information about climate, the layers of the rainforest, and animals.
The Cat in the Hat explores the rainforest with some of his friends. They learn about the water cycle, the floors of the rainforest, and how to protect it. This book would be a great pick when teaching about the water cycle or the rainforest.
This Dr. Seuss book is about Cat in the Hat taking Susie and Dick through the different levels of the Rain Forest. It talks about the environment of each one, and about what animals live in each level.
This is a very good Cat in the Hat book. A little more difficult than the original Cat in the Hat, but a great book for kids to learn about the Tropical Rain Forests.
The Cat and the Hat adventure throught the rainforest. Throughout the book they teach you about all the layers of the rainforest.
Good book for rhyming and it teaches a moral at the end. Good illustrations throughout. Suggested for ages 5 and up.
About where the rain forest is located, the different layers, the animals, and about saving the trees.
Such a great resource for ecosystems! Science teacher should all have this one!!

This informational picture book takes it reader on a journey through a tropical rainforest. It uses the Cat in the Hat Characters, but only uses the rhyming nature of the book, and not the actual story line.
