Draw Rainforest Animals Step by Step
Doug DuBosque D. C. Dubosque
From School Library Journal
Gr 4-6-Rainforest Animals continues Dubosque's method of organized, repeated practice to create drawings of something ``you really like.'' He suggests periodic evaluation of the work in progress, holding it to a mirror or a light for a different view. Brief information about each animal precedes the sketching, along with the admonition to ``always draw lightly at first.'' Well-written directions and lots of white space on each page make this an attractive book.-Carole B. Kirkpatrick, Terminal Park Elementary School, Auburn, WA

Save My Rainforest
Monica Zak Bengt-Arne Runnerstrom (Illustrator)
From Janice Glover - Small Press
The colorful illustrations are realistic and the story well written for young readers. Use of the present tense is a bit jarring, it was almost as though the story were being told in an outline form. However, this style does not spoil the importance of the story. Recommended for school or public librarycollections.
