Stories for Children Magazine 5 Star Review by V. S. Grenier (Ivins, Utah USA)  5 Stars
June 04, 2009
REVIEWED BY: Wayne S. Walker, reviewer with Stories for Children Magazine
Did you ever think that you would like to take a trip to a tropical rainforest to see all the exotic animals and strange plants there? Like its predecessor, Over in the Ocean: In a Coral Reef, this book follows the rhyming pattern of the popular nineteenth century song "Over in the Meadow" by Olive A. Wadsworth to depict various jungle animal parents and their babies, and describe the things they do. One marmoset swings. Two morpho butterflies flit. Three parrots squawk. Four leaf cutter ants scurry. Five honey bears scramble. Six boas squeeze. Seven poison dart frogs hop. Eight ocelots pounce. Nine sloths creep. And ten howler monkeys hoot. Again, as author Marianne Berkes notes, "All the rainforest animals behave as they have been portrayed. That's a fact!"
This is another "Sharing Nature With Children Book" from Dawn Publications, which is dedicated to inspiring children with a deeper understanding and appreciation for all life on Earth. The author has spent much of her life with young children as a teacher, children's theater director, and children's librarian and knows that children enjoy brilliantly illustrated books with predictable text. Therefore, the book not only contains factual scientific information but weaves that material into a poetic text that is fun to read and that reinforces counting, too. At the back of the book, there is a section of curriculum components about the rainforest habitat and animal families. Illustrator Jeanette Canyon once more provides striking relief sculptures with polymer clay. Over in the Jungle: A Rainforest Rhyme has deservedly won several awards, including the iParenting Media Award. It was a joy for me to read and review.

Rhyming in the Rainforest by Thomas Sandusky (Spring Hill, Florida) 5 Stars
December 15, 2008
Over in the Jungle: A Rainforest Rhyne is a delightful picture book. With rhymes children are taught the numbers from one through ten. The illustrations are vibrant and depict ten animals from the American tropical forests. I am impressed with the learning activities at the back of the book which includes: finding the creatures in the rhyme; a song about the creatures; and information on the rainforest structure and community. I give Over in the Jungle my highest recommendation.

A Keeper! by MomofTwo (TX) 5 Stars
November 07, 2008
We check out books free at the library and then any favorites from that we buy at Amazon. I worried the large animal names used might be confusing for my 2 year old but nope, she just loved the whole book and now she is learning to better recognize certain animal species because the book while playing on a traditional nursery rhyme that uses general terms like "duck" or "frog" THIS book uses specific names within each species. I enjoyed reading it over and over just as much as my daughter did! The illustrations are very nicely done, ever page is bursting with jungle color!

Baby Gift by Karen S. Conde (North Canton, OH) 5 Stars
September 25, 2008
I recently purchased this book for a new baby girl. Her parents are both in education. I picked the book because of its' reviews and because the babies' room is done in a rain forest theme. Mom has written me already and is delighted with the book and has been singing the rhymes to her daughter everyday.
