Tiere im Regenwald: Wer träumt nicht von einer Expedition in den Regenwald? Harold Bennington hat diesen Traum, laut Buch, 1924 wahr werden lassen. Seine Beobachtungen über acht verschiedene Tiere während einer Forschungsexpedition, sind in diesem Buch festgehalten. Indem er in tagebuchartigen Aufzeichnungen lebendig berichtet, wie ein Tapir einem gefrässigen Jaguar entkommt, wie eine Arafamilie sich vor einer Pythonschlange retten kann, wie die Amazonas-Delfine mit Echos jagen und wie die Totenkopfäffchen sich verständigen, gibt er den Leser/-rinnen das Gefühl unmittelbar an den Geschehnissen dabei zu sein. Daneben gibt es interessante Informationen zu den Lebens- und Verhaltensweisen dieser acht Tiere. Besonders spannend ist es, die enthaltenen acht Tiermodelle aus Karton, anhand einfacher Bauanleitungen anzufertigen und diese in einem fantastischen, mehrteiligen Panoramabild des Regenwaldes aufzustellen. Ein wunderschön gestaltetes Buch, mit herrlichen Bildern und Fotos, das einem ein Stück Regenwald nach Hause bringt und Abenteuerstimmung verströmt. Ab 8 Jahren, *****, Beatrice Balint.
