A RAIN FOREST ADVENTURE

Welcome to the rain forest! Let's go on an adventure!

Rain forests are hot and steamy places. It rains a lot. There are many plants. Animals eat the plants. And animals use the plants to get away from the rain.

What animals live in the rain forest? Monkeys? Snakes? Sloths? All these animals live in rain forests. Insects live there, too.

Butterflies live in the rain forest. They start as caterpillars. Caterpillars come from eggs. Caterpillars eat leaves. They become big. Then they curl up on a tree branch. A hard shell holds them. Weeks pass. Then pretty butterflies fly out!

Praying mantises live in the rain forest. They are hunters. Praying mantises can turn their heads almost all the way around. They do this to find food.

ACTIVITY: Write at least 3 things you know about the rain forest.

RACE THE RAINDROPS
"It's nice out," said Dad. "Let's get out of the house. Let's go for a bike ride."
"It's almost time for lunch," Mom said. "But we don't have to eat in the house. Let's pack a picnic."

"Hurry up," said Lizzy. "Let's get ready!"

"I'll help," said Sam.
Mom and Dad made sandwiches. Sam and Lizzy packed fruit. Off they went.

Dad saw clouds. "I hope it's sunny when we get to the park," he said.

"Here we are!" said Mom when they got to the park.

Sam looked at the sky. The clouds above were quite dark.

Sam cried, "There's going to be a storm!" Just then, thunder boomed. "Be quiet, thunder!" Sam said.

"Quick!" said Dad. "There's no time to lose. Let's ride back to the house. We'll have to race the raindrops."

"On your marks. Get ready. Get set. Go!"

They rode fast. But they still got wet!

At home they dried off. They were safe and warm. They had their picnic in the house that day!

UNDERWATER ADVENTURE

We're going on an underwater adventure. Come on in, the water's fine!

There's a crab! The crab is as big as a dinner plate. But some crabs can be as small as a pea. Its thick, round shell might be as strong as a dinner plate. It is like a coat of armor.

There's a colorful fish! It has so many beautiful colors! The bright patterns aren't just pretty. They make it hard for an enemy to spot a fish among the coral.

There's a seahorse! Can you see it bobbing in the seaweed? Its tail is curled, that means it wants to rest. Let's keep swimming.

Look down—it's a ray! It lies on the sandy seabed. Other rays swim near the top of the ocean. Watch as it flaps its big wings slowly up and down.

There's an octopus! It is also at the bottom of the ocean. It sleeps among the rocks. Its soft body makes it easy to slide into rocks. Rows of strong suckers help an octopus grip the rocks. Many animals rest among the rocks. Rocks are in a coral reef.
Careful! There's a shark! It is swimming silently. It is looking for food. Don't worry—not us. The shark's long, blunt nose sniffs out a snack.

There's a sea turtle! It has probably seen a lot of animals in the ocean. A sea turtle can live for as long as 100 years!

There's a dolphin! It is playing with its friends. Dolphins often play together. Hear that? They are making clicking sounds.

There's a whale! See how it glides through the water? That's because of its smooth, rubbery skin. Its powerful tail also helps.

There are so many wonderful animals underwater. We need to help protect them. Be sure to not throw trash in the oceans.

Time to come up for air! What a wonderful underwater adventure!

Read this passage carefully.

CARING FOR A PET
Do you have a pet? People all over the world have pets. Would you like to have one? If you could have a pet, what kind would you choose? Maybe you'd like a dog or a cat. Or how about a bird or a fish? Then again, you might want to have a pet that's a little different.

How about a mouse? In Japan many children keep mice for pets. Japanese children like to play with their mice. Some children even teach their mice to dance to music.

Have you thought about a mongoose? In parts of India, children have mongooses for pets. Mongooses love to jump and pounce. Mongooses also help their families keep snakes away.

No matter what kind of pet you have, all pets need to be looked after. Some pets are easy to care for. Other pets need help from their owners. How much help will your pet need?

Just like you, pets need to eat. Most pets need food and water every day. But some fish need food only a few times a week. And pet snakes may need to eat just once every seven days. Some pets eat the same foods you do, other pets eat food you wouldn't touch. Cats seem to like food that is very smelly. Fish eat flakes made of dried worms. Lizards and frogs eat bugs.

Just like you, pets need a place to live. But where do pets stay? Fish and frogs live in tanks with water. Snakes, insects, spiders, toads, and lizards live in tanks without water. Birds live in cages. Guinea pigs and gerbils stay in cages too. Some dogs have their very own houses. Other animals would rather stay with you!

Just like you, pets need to move. Fish and frogs swim. Birds fly. Snakes slither. Rabbits hop. Dogs like to play catch. Hamsters, mice, and rats run around in circles.

Just like you, pets need to keep clean. Many pets do a good job of keeping themselves clean. Cats use their tongues to lick their fur clean. Birds use their beaks to clean and fluff their feathers. Other pets enjoy taking a bath just about as much as you do!

Just like you, some pets need to visit the doctor. A doctor for pets is called a veterinarian, or vet. A vet takes care of animals when they are sick or hurt. Vets also give pets their shots. Some pets wear tags on their collars. These tags may mean that the pets have had their shots.

Pets need food, a safe place to live, exercise, and baths. But they need something else that's even more important. Pets need love!
