About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is captivated by the natural world and constantly asking questions about exotic animals and faraway ecosystems. Jungle, part of the classic DK Eyewitness series, is a visual encyclopedia that explores the vibrant, complex life within the world's rainforests. Through stunning photography and digestible text, it introduces the different layers of the jungle, the incredible creatures that inhabit them, and the importance of conservation. It's an excellent choice for visual learners and budding scientists aged 7 to 12, sparking curiosity and a deeper appreciation for our planet's biodiversity.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
Nature's circle of life is presented directly and factually. There are depictions of predator and prey interactions (e.g., a snake constricting prey) but they are scientific, not gratuitous. The book was published in 1996, so depictions of indigenous peoples might lack the nuance and perspective of modern publications. This is handled in a secular, anthropological style.
