Over and Under the Rainforest

It may suit a child who enjoys animals, habitats and noticing details. The changing perspectives invite shared looking, while the endnotes can extend interest beyond the main journey.

Some animals hunt or eat other animals: a parrot snake hunts frogs, while crocodiles and other rainforest creatures appear in their habitats. The adventure also includes darkness, rain and a river crossing.

Which animals seem most at home above the ground, and which below it? If a child notices the hunting scenes or the darker evening setting, what do they make of those moments?

Read the main journey for its visual contrasts, pausing to locate animals above and below. Afterwards, use the endnotes to revisit one or two animals rather than treating every fact as required learning.
