Beginning with a tiny trickle high in the mountains, smaller streams join until they form the world’s largest river. Crossing a continent, it winds through lush rainforests until it meets the ocean. From piranhas to the giant anaconda, this mighty waterway is home to the world’s most incredible ecosystem. Welcome to the Amazon River.

Media Reviews

Stylish illustrations by the Brazilian artist d'Hipolito perfectly compliment this poetic non-fiction volume about the Amazon - its wildlife, historic civilisations and the jeopardy it's in now. Both text and images make the information zing. * The Sunday Times *
The illustrations are vibrant and luscious - the river and rainforest live and breathe in this book. -- JUNO Magazine
A fine blend of Amazon basics, the river's rarities, and human influence. * Booklist.com *
