The article outlines several guidelines for the library media specialist to teach students about rain forest animals. The aim is to have students create a rain forest alphabet book page. Information resources include the book "Exploring the Rain Forest," by Mattias Klum and Hans Odoo, and the Children's Tropical Forests Web site. Dictionary pages and animal cut-outs are evaluated for creativity, neatness and completeness and accuracy of information.
