If you want to focus on the beautiful and colorful Amazonian Rainforest animals, you’ll love this lapbook. Also, look at my pages Rain Forest Animals of the Amazon, Rain Forest Amazon, and my lapbook ideas for more activities and resources.
Of course, this by no means even touches the fringes of all the biodiversity of the animals contained in the Amazon Rain Forest, but I wanted to include as many as I could find.
In addition, I have many free printables and more than enough to make two or three lapbooks since we’ve covered the Amazonian rain forest animals many times.
For example, look at some of my downloads below which include the ABCS of the rain forest animals.

Amazonian Rainforest Animals
Learn about the mammals, insects, birds and fish of the wonderful Amazon Rain Forest.
Under the canopy of the rainforest hundreds of animals make their homes, but up in the leaves hides another world. Turn the pages of this beautiful and educational book to discover in words and mesmerizing illustration:
- Animals like the slender parrot snake and the blue morpho butterfly.
- The canopies where toucans and pale-billed woodpeckers chatter and call.
- Capuchin monkeys who swing from vines and slow-moving sloths who wait out daily thunderstorms.
- And much more!
Discover the wonder that lies hidden among the roots, above the winding rivers, and under the emerald leaves of the rainforest in this glorious nature book for children and adults alike. Perfect for anyone who can't get enough of the rainforest and all the animals living in it.
Imaginations will soar from the forest floor, up through the canopy and back down again, following the circle of life in this clever adaptation of the song “The Green Grass Grew All Around.” The jungle comes alive as children learn about a wide variety of the animals (jaguars, emerald tree boas, leafcutter ants, sloths, poison dart frogs, toucans, and bats) and plants (kapok trees, liana vines, and bromeliads) living in the lush Amazon rainforest. Delve even deeper into the jungle using sidebars and the three-page “For Creative Minds” educational section.
Bestselling author/illustrator Julia Rothman shares a delightfully illustrated guide to all the beasts of the wild, from lions, tigers, and bears to musk oxen, monkeys, elephants, giraffes, foxes, badgers, bats, crocodiles, owls, flying squirrels and much, much more.
A modern fable with an urgent message for young environmentalists. "Spectacular." (School Library Journal)
Lynne Cherry journeyed deep into the rain forests of Brazil to write and illustrate this gorgeous picture book about a man who exhausts himself trying to chop down a giant kapok tree. While he sleeps, the forest’s residents, including a child from the Yanomamo tribe, whisper in his ear about the importance of trees and how "all living things depend on one another" . . . and it works.
Cherry’s lovingly rendered colored pencil and watercolor drawings of all the "wondrous and rare animals" evoke the lush rain forests. Features stunning world maps bordered by detailed illustrations of fascinating rainforest creatures.
