The Rainforest Poem
Lauren

What is a rainforest?
I bet you'd like to know.
It's a place where animals live,
And plants and trees grow.

It's got birds, amphibians, and mammals,
Reptiles, insects, and fish.
There are many kinds of fruits,
Which make a lovely dish.

There are millions and millions of species,
Of animals, plants, and trees.
But they're all disappearing,
They need your help, please!

The trees are all being cut,
Only seven percent remain.
What have we done to our world?
We must be completely insane.

The animals live in the forest,
Over one million kinds.
When the trees go, so do they,
So don't just act as if your blind.

We need the trees for oxygen,
And the animals need it too.
The rainforest provides many products we need,
With many things to study and do.

We have to take care of the forests,
'Cause half the world's creatures live there.
So write a letter or talk to your friends,
To show you really care!

We have books and other resources on rainforests in the library, both in the stacks and in the reference area.  Please talk to Liz about helping you find books for you.

I've included below some pages below to help you get started.  These are general sites that have information about rainforests.

You will need help with these pages from Your Parents, Teachers or Librarians...
