From the tiny hummingbird to the strongest bird of prey, from the cosy sloth to the lightning-fast jaguar, from the industrious leaf-cutter ant to the largest tarantula in the world: no other habitat is as rich in species as the rainforest. Where its name comes from, why the habitat is increasingly under threat and which fascinating animals live there, can be read by beginning readers themselves in simple texts with simple texts. A reading quiz at the end of each chapter shows whether they have understood what they have read. This makes learning to read fun!
