STEAMpunks: Rainforest Book List

At today's STEAMpunks we are learning all about rainforests! This program for kids in grades K-5 centers on science, technology, engineering, art, and math topics (plus fun!).

For our rainforest STEAMpunks, we'll be visiting the amazing Evansville Community School District's Nature Center. Kids will explore lots of hands on activities to learn about this amazing environment! Here are some of the books we'll be sharing at today's STEAMpunks.


Lifesize Rainforest by Anita Ganeri & Stuart Jackson-Carter
A huge book filled with wonderful photographs featuring rainforest animals at their actual size.

Once Upon a Jungle by Laura Knowles and James Boast
An eye appealing book for young children.

The Umbrella by Jan Brett
A tropical story told in Jan Brett's classic style.

The Rainforest Grew All Around by Susan K. Mitchell
A rainforest theme version of this classic, cumulative song.

Disappearing Acts: A Search and Find Book of Endangered Animals by Isabella Bunnell
This gorgeously illustrated I spy style book features endangered animals from many parts of the world, including the rainforest.

How Monkeys Make Chocolate: Foods and Medicines from the Rainforests by Adrian Forsyth
This non-fiction book share information about the diversity of life in the Amazon rainforest.

The Great Kapok Tree by Lynne Cherry
A beautiful story with a message about conservation and environmentalism.

A Hungry Lion or A Dwindling Assortment of Animals by Lucy Ruth Cummins
Okay, so this book doesn't really feature the rainforest. There is an assortment of animals, some that live in the rainforest, but we shared this book for its humorously take on the food chain.
