Yes — rain falls almost every afternoon in a tropical rain forest! This engaging Scholastic Question & Answer title tackles more than 75 curious questions kids ask about rain forests, from where they're found to what happens as they disappear. Along the way, readers discover astonishing facts: leaves that stretch 70 feet long, hummingbirds that fly like tiny helicopters, and an okapi with a 14-inch tongue. Colourful illustrations bring the animals, plants, and people of this complex ecosystem vividly to life.
