The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry

Today we read "The Great Kapok Tree" by Lynne Cherry while eating lunch.  
What a great story and the illustrations are wonderful.  
At the end of the story we discussed what we learned; trees give us oxygen.
We especially enjoyed meeting the jaguar and the parrot.
We learned that there is an abundance of animal and plant life in the rain forest 
as well as people,and that they all depend on each other for survival 

We also read "The Red Eyed Tree Frog" by Joy Cowley, which prompted the following questions. 
Are these frogs nocturnal?  Yes they are.
How rough are tree trunks in the Rainforest? It varies, many trees have enormous roots and buttress', trees are enormous rooted in shallow soil as it rains a lot. There are also a lot of vines entangled throughout the rainforest.
Which snakes are poisonous? 
To be continued........
