The Rainforest Grew All Around

The Rainforest Grew All Around by Susan K Mitchell and Illustrated by Connie McLennan is a rewrite of the classic cumulative song The Green Grass Grew All Around using animals and plants from the rainforest.

This is a terrific version of the song and the text sings well.  The pictures are lush and exciting and there's also more information which can be read by students who are reading the book independently.  My students enjoy this book.

I recommend this book for kids 5-9
