One day a man walks into the rain forest, he sees the kapok tree and starts to cut into the trunk with his ax. Soon he gets tired and falls asleep, the animals that live there whisper into his ear all the reasons not to cut down the tree. When the man woke up , he seemed as if he was still going to chop the tree down, but he stopped in mid-swing and turned out of the rain forest.This book helps us to see how much trees really do for us in this world; no trees means no oxygen and without oxygen there's no life.

The story is about a man who goes into a rain forest (Amazon) to chop down a tree. He chopped a chuck of the tree down and he fell asleep. While he was asleep, animals who lived in the tree whispered in his ear reasons why to not cut down the tree. The book will give us reasons how much trees really do for us, and our environment.
