Exhausted by his efforts to chop down a great kapok tree in the Brazilian rainforest, a man falls asleep under the tree, and the creatures living in the tree come out to plead with him not to destroy their home. Teacher's Guide available. Reprint.
The many different animals that live in a great kapok tree in the Brazilian rainforest try to convince a man with an ax of the importance of not cutting down their home.
When a man with an axe falls asleep under a kapok tree, the creatures living in the tree come out to plead with him not to destroy their home.
This inspired look at what the Kapok tree means to the creatures that live in it--and what rain forests mean to the world's ecology--was at the forefront of the ecological movement ten years ago and continues to resonate profoundly with children everywhere.
Exhausted from his labors, a man chopping down a great kapok tree in the Brazilian rain forest puts down his ax, and, as he sleeps, the animals who live in the tree plead with him not to destroy their world.
