Synopsis

Early in the morning, young Tepui walks through the Venezuelan tropical rain forest. Colorful birds call from the treetops, and a tribe of monkeys plays in the branches. But Tepui doesn't have time to enjoy the animals he loves so much. He is going to the Science Laboratory to talk to his scientist friends. Today trucks and bulldozers are heading to the forest. They are bringing men to cut down the trees. Many plants will die, and the animals will no longer have homes. Tepui and his friends want to think of a way to save the forest. But are they too late? Naturalist Jean Craighead George infuses her books with her love for animals. Music, wildlife sounds, and the voices of local people add color to this informative introduction to rain forest ecology.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Valerie

Tepui has less than 12 hours to find an unknown butterfly to stop the bulldozers that will begin clearing out the rain forest that is his home. Lots of descriptions of plant and animals in the area, and each section starts with the time as it counts down to the end of the day.......more
