Description
This book discusses the variety of animals found in the rain forests, mountains, grasslands, and coastal regions of South America, including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
Quick Summary
This book transforms South America into a walking, swimming, and flying zoo right on the pages, featuring creatures that will make readers' jaws drop, from colorful macaws to sneaky jaguars hiding in the rainforest shadows. Kids will marvel at the unbelievable photographs and meet bizarre animals like the poison dart frog that could balance on a thumbnail and the giant anteater with a snout longer than their arm. If your kid devours National Geographic Kids books or the "Who Would Win?" series, they'll be completely drawn in by this up-close look at wildlife most American kids have never seen in person. Ideal for children ages 8 to 12 in grades 3 through 7 who are wild about animals and crave a quick, eye-opening read.
