A Tiny Brown Monkey on the Big Blue Earth

In the middle of a South American jungle, a tiny brown monkey swings from a branch. Where is his place on the big, blue Earth?   Starting with a tiny monkey in the Amazon rainforest, this richly illustrated poem by scientist Tory Christie illuminates a unique geographical perspective, showcasing South America's environment. Luciana Navarro Powell's ever-widening views take readers from jungle to mountain to village and city, country, continent, ocean, and finally the planet in space. Endsheets include a map of South America labeling the places shown.   Perfect for inspiring young minds to think big, this picture book also supports C3 standards for geography related to maps, culture, and environment.
