About This Lesson
This book was written by a 14 year-old in 1992 who was able to inspire a whole generation of children about one of our planet’s most precious and fragile realms: rainforests.
Young readers are guided through the alphabet as they engage in fun alliterations about many of the animals one encounters in the rainforest. Following XYZ the Ant, children learn about anteaters, macaws, quetzals and many other inhabitants of the rainforest. Large text with content for younger readers and smaller text with content for more advanced readers allows for classroom scaffolding and the ability to reach a larger age range. Kristin Joy Pratt-Serafini once again successfully inspires many children to become invested in our rainforest.
