"Saving the Rain Forest
With Cammie and Cooper is a commendable project and a unique way of looking at
the first steps
of [environmental] education. Especially appreciated the Note to
Parents and Teachers at the end." |

Is a problem as big as the destruction of rain forests too big for a seven-year-old to tackle? Not at all. Cammie and her little brother Cooper know what must be done, and in a flight of imagination, they do it. Along the way, the fearless siblings have outrageous adventures that young readers applaud: they count the teeth of a crocodile, tickle the toes of poison-arrow frogs, and howl at a howler monkey. But what happens when they meet a frowning foreman and his crew who are cutting down the rain forest? That’s when we discover how simple a solution can be.

“Excellent book! Great for helping young children become aware of what is
happening on our planet and what they can do to help save the rain forest. It is
very inspiring.” |

Truly magical art. The book features vibrant watercolor illustrations by Carol Bowles. Her yellow skies and blue-green forests, speckled with points of light, are dazzling. In her capable hands, Cammie and Cooper are dashing redheads and even a crocodile can wear a smile.

“Cammie and Cooper remind us that we each have the power to stop tropical
deforestation by using our voices. Each child and family…can make sure that
the magical rainforests of the world — and their extraordinary wildlife — will
be around for future generations to explore and enjoy.” |
