Voltaire E. '10 One Day In the Tropical Rainforest by Jean Craighead George is an
informational book full of many facts about the rainforest, but I found
the book boring. It mostly describes the journey of a boy and a
scientist who is trying to catch a nameless butterfly in order to save
the rain forest. I think it is not believable because the main character
and a scientist climbed the biggest tree in the Macaw Rainforest in 20
minutes. Also he saved the Rainforest from being cut down in one day
with one butterfly.
I wouldn't recommend this book to people for
leisure reading, only to people who are looking for some Tropical
Rainforest facts.
Happy Reading to you all!

| Reviewer: Abbe H. '06 Take a
trip to the jungle with a young boy, Tepui, and his friend, a lepidopterist, Dr. Rivero.
You will get a lot of information on animals such as army ants, jaguars and macaws as
Tepui and Dr. Rivero set out on a walk through the rain forest. When they walk, they are
looking for a nameless butterfly so Dr. Rivero can name it after his daughter. He also
hopes to save the rain forest from deforestation. Tepui and Dr. Rivero don’t have
forever to find their butterfly; they must find it in one day since eleven
bulldozers and four trucks are entering the rain forest to log.
Read One Day in the Tropical Rain to find out the exciting
ending to this story.
