From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4-In this companion to Afternoon on the Amazon Random,
1995, Jack and Annie encourage readers to undertake their own
research related to the rain forest, and that is excellent advice.
With the number of full-color, larger-format titles available on
the topic, it is hard to justify sticking with the brief
introduction and small, black-and-white photos this book offers.
Drawings of the children appear somewhere on almost every page, and
perhaps their die-hard fans will slog along to keep them in view.
However, the book doesn''t even provide detailed information on some
plants and animals that play an important role in the fictional
adventure. For example, the frightening vampire bats and piranhas
the children encounter are barely mentioned. The mango, which is
the item they need to bring back from their adventure, isn''t even
included in this title. Tips for research and lists of books,
museums, videos, and Web sites could be useful, but it''s hard to
recommend purchasing a resource that lacks the attributes necessary
to do its own subject justice.
