Suitable for children in Year 2 (age 6), Rainforest is one of nine books from the Cambridge Reading non-fiction strand.

This strand has been designed to introduce young readers to information retrieval skills.

Over 100 million years ago, rainforests covered much of Australia.

This book looks at the remaining ancient rainforests.

It also portrays some of the wonderful plants and creatures found there and explains the interdependency of all these living things, and how vulnerable the rainforest is to sudden change.

Cambridge Reading at Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) includes fiction, non-fiction, poetry and plays to offer children a variety of text types, authors and illustrators and provide a firm base for wider reading.
