The Amazon Expedition

Walk under giant trees, paddle beside a pink river dolphin, watch macaws on a red clay cliff, visit the Andes and camp in the night jungle. Your child learns why sloths go slow and how dolphins find fish by echo.

• Why a sloth moves slowly: its leafy food gives little energy.
• How pink river dolphins find fish in muddy water with echoes.
• How a jacana’s long toes let it walk on lily pads.
• That the Amazon River begins high in the Andes mountains.
• Why a rainbow boa shimmers in torchlight: tiny ridges on its scales.
