This is not just an informational book about the world's largest rainforest. Rather, it captures your attention with a theme: you're an explorer! How will you explore the Amazon? The first chapter introduces the Amazon. Then you'll read about how to find your way through the different terrains, how to find food and water, and how to survive. Along the way, you'll read more about the plants and animals found there, the weather, and more. You can learn to make a double-pronged spear, a lean-to, and even an insect meal!

Sprinkled throughout the book are words to know, things to try, fascinating facts, and interesting sidebars. You can read the book straight through, or you can easily find what interests you. This book is a fun and creative way to discover the Amazon and inspire your young explorers ages 8-12.
