“This early-elementary series installment (Animals Measure Up, 6 titles) introduces the rainforest of South America in layers of unique habitats. The journey starts on the forest floor, examining a terrain where the sun barely reaches. As readers progress upward, the sun becomes more of a factor, and the life-forms grow more complex. The emergent, or top, layer is 200 feet from the forest floor. Rulers on the edges of the pages (in inches/feet and centimeters/meters) help readers visualize distance as they move through the layers. By focusing on the segments rather than overall size, the author has done a capable job of suggesting the breadth and diversity of life within the habitat. The illustrations are soft and friendly, while a “Layers of the Rainforest” diagram, glossary, and list of further resources round out this introductory volume.”—Kara Dean
