Nice Little Book 
Reviewed by Christina Wantz Fixemer
on 09/20/2008
This little book is very colorful with a bit of a puzzle feel. Children are asked to find an animal in the jungle, which is drawn in bright greens, oranges, yellows, and reds. The animals hide behind flaps. When they're found, the child sees an uncluttered picture, with a labeled, smaller picture on the reverse of the flap.
The flaps in this board book seem sturdier than average, but I am still concerned about small kids pulling them off. For flap books, I tend to recommend them for preschoolers rather than babies--although flaps often don't survive three years olds either!
Cute and educational, this is a nice little book for your child's library.

LOVE THE RAINFOREST THEME
Our baby hasn't arrived yet and our theme is Fisher Price's Rainforest, so this is a great book! It contains all the characters from the rainforest theme and will be great to read to the baby as he or she gets older. A definate plus in the line of Rainforest!!

Fisher Price Rainforest Animals Storybook
What a cute little book to match all the neat nursery items in the Fisher Price Rainforest collection. When baby starts to look around his Rainforest environment and ask questions about all the jungle animals, this book is the perfect answer to those questions. Its durable and sturdy, colorful and beautiful to look at. A good value for the price as well!

Fun Book; Bad Educational Message 
My 11-month-old daughter loves any book with flaps to open. She can't wait to reach out and try to rip them off the page. She also loves the bright colors on these pages. I think it's a great book except for one thing -- I'm disturbed by the jumble of animals that supposedly live in the same rainforest. Tigers live in Asia, giraffes in Africa and toucans in South America. These animals would never be hanging out together in the same rainforest. I bought the book for the entertainment rather than the educational value, but that doesn't mean I want my daughter to absorb completely wrong information.

Colorful & Fun!
Reviewed by Cayden (age 3-1/2) and Max (age 19-months) Aures and Mom for Reader Views (4/08)
"Who Lives in the Rainforest?: Discovering Animals" introduces your child to the elephants, giraffes, toucans, monkeys, butterflies and tigers who live in the rainforest. Each page focuses on a specific trait of the animal and asks your child if they see that certain part on the page. For instance, "Monkeys have curly tails. Do you see a curly tail hanging from the branch?" Once they find the tail they lift the flap and the whole monkey is revealed.
Both children love interactive books like "lift the flap books" and for us it is a great opportunity to teach taking turns.
Cayden: "I like flap books!"
Max: "Flap! Flap! Peek-a-boo!"
After establishing who got to open the first flap we got started reading.
Cayden: "Mom! It's an elephant! Elephants say `mmmm' with their horns!"
Cayden: "Is this the word elephant? Let me spell it!"
Max's favorite page was the one with the tiger hiding behind the grass.
When asked what tigers say he and Cayden both said "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!"
Parent's comments:
"Who Lives in the Rainforest?: Discovering Animals" is a very bright and colorful book. When the flap is lifted and the animal revealed the name of the animal is also printed there by itself. Isolating the animal name from the rest of the text is very helpful in assisting those beginning to recognize words and read. Cayden clued right in on those words and named and went through all of the letters in each one.
Fisher Price has a whole line of rainforest items. Max happens to own the Fisher Price train which has quite a few of the same animals that are in the book. I brought it out for him and he was excited to see that "his" animals were the same animals that were in the story. So, if you have any of the rainforest line that would be another fun game to use the book for and teach matching at the same time.
