My Home in the Rainforest

This lovely little book is written by J. Patrick Lewis, Children’s Poet Laoureate. There are eight two page spreads with an informative poem on one page and a photo with a fact box on the facing page. Language is accessible, with a glossary at the back as well as a few pages of facts to correspond to the animals/habitats featured. This is a nicely done nonfiction book, with the combined poetry/fact writing working well together. Students will enjoy the playful language and the information presented, learning some facts along the way. Recommended.

About Candy Ranney

Candy is an elementary school librarian in Shelton, WA at the school where she was a student (so many years ago!). Her library is unique in that she brings her background and love of biology to her students in many ways. Not only does she have an awesome selection of science books; she also has a beaver, bobcat and mink sitting on her shelves and a variety of jarred specimens for her students to study. When she's not in the library, she is taking care of her baby trees on her tree farm and hanging out with her family and many pets.
