About This Book

Reach for this book when your child starts asking where plants come from or how scientists discover new things in nature. It is perfect for those moments of quiet curiosity when a child wants to understand the 'why' behind the natural world rather than just looking at pictures of animals. This book serves as a foundational bridge between simple nature appreciation and the formal history of botany. While the title suggests a focus on animals, the content actually introduces young readers to the historical effort of humans to classify and understand rainforest vegetation. It highlights the persistence of early scientists and the wonder of discovery. It is ideally suited for children in the 7 to 10 age range who are beginning to enjoy more structured non-fiction and historical narratives about science.
