In the Jungle River

In the Jungle River is an expository text that explores the kinds of animals that can be found in the jungle river such as capybaras, giant otters, manatees, and turtles.

Images enhance and extend the text. To conclude, a two-page illustration shows all the animals living in unison. An index is included.

Interest words include leeches, piranhas, capybaras, and manatees. Some sentences are questions. An activity that asks students to create a mapping chart is presented in the Teacher’s Guide Notes.
