Rain Forest Relay by Kristin Earhart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


(NOTE: This is the first in a series of 6 completed books. I encourage you to try the whole series!)


Are you ready to run the WILDEST race of your life?


Readers will be blown away by this engaging title, as they join Team Red in their race around the natural world for a chance at winning a grand prize of one million dollars! Our adventure begins in the heart of South America-- the Amazon Rainforest, home to lush scenery and vibrant wildlife. Get ready for zip-lining, kayaking past rapids, wild encounters… and a little foul play from another team!


This book is both exciting and educational. Each chapter ends with a “Creature Feature,” 2-3 pages of insightful facts that spotlight a specific animal found within that section of the book. Other chapters include information on the Amazon Rainforest, Endangered Species and their habitats, as well as quick look into the history of the area’s ancient people. I found the members of the Red Team to be endearing; they could easily be related to by children. And, as a bonus, readers will get a chance to read ahead some sample pages of the second installment, Great Reef Games, to keep their anticipation high. A perfect book for young animal lovers and “adventurers to-be.”
