This exquisite book explores one huge tree in the jungle, from roots to canopy... with a huge fold-out surprise at the end.

Offering a perspective rarely seen, Up in the Canopy explores the rainforest layer by layer, as we climb the incredible Kapok tree - a 100-metre tropical tree in the heart of wildest South America - in search of the elusive Harpy eagle which lives almost exclusively at great heights.

With artwork as rich and dense as the rainforest itself, there is much to explore at every level, and readers can scour the forest floor, understory and canopy for the world's rarest and most beautiful tropical creatures. Finally reaching the top, they are rewarded with the most magical sight...

As told by James Aldred, author of The Man Who Climbed Trees, and published in conjunction with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

Explore the jungle layer by layer with a huge fold-out surprise at the end.

Reviews
An absolutely gorgeously illustrated book, Up in the Canopy must be used in any geography lessons exploring the Amazon...an astonishing non-fiction book. An informative read, I loved how the reader feels a part of the book through exploring and climbing the Kapok tree. * Tom Griffith, Check Em Out Books *
