A colorful jungle of animals depicts the circle of life.

Children will learn how the circle of life fuels the jungle ecosystem, supporting life up the food chain only to start again literally at ground level. Young readers will enjoy exploring the illustrations for the many animals hiding between and under the leaves and flowers and in the treetops.
The book closes with an expansive gatefold showing all of the animals from the previous pages, and many more, all hiding and waiting to be spotted. Text entitled “Living World” explains the circle of life and the ecological link between animals, earth, air, water, and all that supports the world we live in.
