Beginning with a definition of a rainforest or jungles near the equator where the sun shines hottest, one is taken on a journey around the world.  Each floor of a rainforest is home to a variety of plants and animals – each vying for food and space.   Many wildly colorful, strange-looking plants and animals of the rainforests of the Amazon, Africa, along the Congo, Madagascar, and Asia, from India to Australia, are portrayed.  The photographs are colorful and engaging but sizes are not comparable.  Many plants and animals are showcased, but there is no mention about where they are found.  One may download a digital book to accompany this one using a provided website and code.  This book ends with a warning about the potential loss of rainforests without the interference of concerned people.  An interview with a conservationist, and extensive index, and a glossary are included.
