Interactive Explorer: Oceans and Rain Forests

From sharks to starfish, parrots to poison dart frogs, our oceans and rain forests are home to millions of different plants and animals. In Interactive Explorer: Oceans and Rain Forests, kids can learn about these remarkable and often mysterious habitats and how to protect them. With lift-up acetate pages with dual layers, detailed cross-sections and diagrams, and interactive flaps, tabs, wheels, and windows, it’s a complete hands-on experience.Curious kids can lift a flap to discover how colorful coral reefs feed by catching tiny animals in their stinging tentacles, and how we can keep them alive but cutting down fewer trees far inland. Underneath an acetate layer, they’ll see the rosy periwinkle, a rain forest flower whose medicine is used to treat serious illnesses, and find out how we can keep it safe and sound. They’ll also pull tabs to see how elephants move logs, spin wheels to see the earth’s land masses in different eras, and fold out a flower to find the praying mantis within.
