Product Information
Exhausted from his labours, a man chopping down a great kapok tree in the Brazilian rain forest puts down his axe, and, as he sleeps, the animals who live in the tree plead with him not to destroy their world. The author and artist Lynne Cherry journeyed deep into the rain forests of Brazil to write and illustrate her gorgeous picture book The Great Kapok Tree: A Tale of the Amazon Rain Forest (1990). One day, a man exhausts himself trying to chop down a giant kapok tree. While he sleeps, the forest's residents, including a child from the Yanomamo tribe, whisper in his ear about the importance of trees and how all living things depend on one another ... and it works. Cherry's lovingly rendered coloured pencil and watercolour drawings of all the wondrous and rare animals evoke the lush rain forests, as well as stunning world maps bordered by tree porcupines, emerald tree boas, and dozens more fascinating creatures. AGES: 4 to 7 AUTHOR Lynne Cherry has devoted her life to sharing her concern about environmental issues with others. Her important children's books also include The Armadillo from Amarillo and two tales from the Amazon rain forest: The Great Kapok Tree and The Shaman's Apprentice.Product Identifiers

Epic story
An amazing story book... Perfect for me teaching a year four class. I also bought the teaching guide that goes with the book for further ideas... Brilliant too... Read it and ask children, siblings what the animals will say and what might happen next... A book which can be read over and over again...Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good story, bent book
I order loads of second hand books and most are in such good condition that they could be new. This book is bent and looks pre-owned. The story itself is a good one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
