These poems are very powerful, and I appreciate the additional information provided in the front and the back of this book. After reading this book my heart ached, because I wish there was someway I could help this environment. I think it might make a good project for students to become involved in their community, or to find ways of improving local and global environments.

A collection of poems that teach about the various animals found in the Parque Nacional Iguazú.

This is a Spanish/English bilingual collection of poems about the animals and myths and life in the Iguazu National Park. The artwork is vibrant and beautiful, with painted animals and paper cutout backgrounds. ( )

Use to teach about South American nature, animals, habitat.

Use to teach about poetry.

Beautifully colored illustrations. The book is inclusive as the poems are written side by side in both Spanish and English. This would be fun to use as an example in our "Sharing the Planet" unit. Students learn about animals and their adaptations. Using this book as an example, they could demonstrate their learning through poetry as well.
