GoKidsGrow Review: The Family Perspective

Total Points = 100 (Highly recommended)

Content Appropriate for Children - 20/20
A fun story for children of all ages and a good introduction to many beautiful and animals. You can play a "find the animal game." Do you see the leopard, snake, bird, etc? Even though they are quite brilliant in color, they blend in providing a lesson in camouflage.

Artwork - 20/20
The bright colors and beautiful art makes this book a great read and a visual treat.

Family Perspective - 20/20
The right message, the right medium. We're all connected and have a responsibility to each other and too the world. The Great Kapok Tree is a hidden gem. If you're reading to your toddler, you'll both love it. If your youngster is learning to read, you'll both love it.

Pace - 20/20
The flow and length of the book are perfect for those early years.

Morals and Teachings - 20/20
There is a good message that we have a responsibility to each other and too this world. That we need to keep in mind every action has a reaction or a consequence. The book echoes a wholesome philosophy; "we haven't inherited this earth from our forefathers but are borrowing it from our children."

In closing, we recommend this book highly and thank you for reading our review. From GoKidsGrow LLC, we wish you and yours all the best.

Excellent Book

This book was purchased for my wife to use in 4th grade. She and the children love this book......The item was exactly as described and arrived before the date promised in excellent condition.

Educational Rainforest Reading

This book did a wonderful job of showing how the animals of the rain forest depend on each other and the resources of the rainforest to live. I love how the book left you thinking about the man in the story and his decision not to cut down the tree. I used this in my classroom as a resource to show how/why the rainforest is endangered. The pictures in this book are great and really helped my students visualize what the rainforest looks like. I would recommend this book to any elementary classroom working on food chains, endanagered animals, or saving our environment.

This inspired look at what the Kapok tree means to the creatures that live in it--and what rain forests mean to the world's ecology--was at the forefront of the ecological movement ten years ago and continues to resonate profoundly with children everywhere.
