Our class book this Spring term
The Great Kapok Tree is a children's picture book about rainforest conservation. It was written and illustrated by Lynne Cherry. The man in the story travels through the rain forest and wants to chop down the great kapok tree. Many animals that live in the rain forest come over and whisper to him, to not cut down the tree. The animals remind the man that the tree is apart of their life and some of the animals live in the tree. "The Great Kapok Tree" is an excellent story to enhance the theme of community. The animals tell the man not to chop down the tree because it is apart of life and the need the tree in many ways to survive.
