AMAZON RIVER
Beginning with a tiny trickle high in the mountains, smaller streams join until they form the world’s largest river. Crossing a continent, it winds through lush rainforests until it meets the ocean. From piranhas to the giant anaconda, this mighty waterway is home to the world’s most incredible ecosystem. Welcome to the Amazon River.
This stunning illustrated guide to the world’s most famous river and its surrounding rainforest is packed with incredible facts about South America’s wildlife, people, geography and history.
“Stylish illustrations by the Brazilian artist d’Hipolito perfectly complement this poetic non-fiction volume about the Amazon - its wildlife, historic civilisations and the jeopardy it’s in now. Both text and images make the information zing.” – Nicolette Jones, the Sunday Times
“These pages tread the tightrope between concision and depth expertly... a stunning way to engage children with an important and breath-taking part of the world.” – Books for Topics
“A fine blend of Amazon basics, the river’s rarities, and human influence.”
– Booklist
Selected as the School Reading List’s Book of the Month.
