Quest for the Tree Kangaroo (Scientists in the Field)

This book is a book you'll never regret reading, it shares the wonders of Papua new guinea and makes you really appreciate how luck we are to have such amazing and magnificent animals.

Sy Montgomery,with a team, set out to photograph and continue their study of the elusive tree kangaroo. Although Sy discusses each member of the team, the book is filled with copious photos of the people,the cloud forest, and animals. Astonishingly clear pictures of the New Guinea flora show texture of every little frond on the many huge fern plants. The close up pictures of the tree kangaroo are clear, but not enough for this reader. The book is in picture book form and is classed as juvenile; however this reader feels all ages would enjoy seeing and reading about such an unusual animal. If you're looking for report information on the tree kangaroo, this title isn't enough. If you're looking for a good browsing title to enjoy, this is perfect. This book is part of the "Scientists In The Field " series.

The Quest Of The Tree Kangaroo is a book about how 8 people go and study the rare Papua New Guinea’s tree kangaroo. In the beginning it basically introduces the people and says a bit about them. They keep going on this adventure to find a tree kangaroo in the beautiful forest. When they do find some they stick trackers on them and they examine them. It is an interesting book learning about such an elusive animal. I liked it and I think you will too.

I got this book for my children's lit class. It was wonderful. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in children's lit.

This book is an amazing way of expressing the expedition for the Tree Kangroo. This is the best nonfiction book ever!
