Looking for Jaguar

I have to start off by talking about the pictures in this book. They are absolutely gorgeous. The paintings are so life-like. The main color used in this book is green, depicting the jungle. But somehow the other colors that are used are so vibrant against the different shades of green. The animals and flowers and plants are so real looking.
The book is a collection of poems about animals and plants in the jungle. The are very clever and informative. My favorite is the "Rainbow Lorikeets" poem. There is so much movement and sound in the poem. The poem is about birds and their lifestyle. It is amazing that information about what they eat and how they live can but put into such a short poem.
The last thing I liked about this book was in then back, there is information about each animal and plant written about in the poems. There is also a write up about the rain forest in general. I think this was a great idea. Not only is it very informative for the reader but the poems are enjoyable as well as the illustrations.
