This is the best site that I'm aware of:

Start here:

and go from there.  Joyce Church

I have a web site with two different theme pages that I am sure wil have
the information about "animals" of the rainforest/jungle that you are
looking for.  My site is "The Educator's Toolkit" and the URL is
http://www.eagle.ca/~matink
On the Themes link you will find two themes: Endangered Animals and The
Environment.  Hope these will have what you are looking for.  Both pages
have been updated within the last week so all of the links should be active.
Carolyn Bierworth.

Subject: Gen.:  Discount Store Books

Earlier this week I sent this message:

>This morning in the library there was a discussion about 3 Rosemary Wells
>books that were at Costco.  One teacher stated that she had heard on the
>radio that the author does not get any money on his/her books that are sold
>in Costco.  Is this true?

I only received one response, and that was asking me "So, Sara, is Costco a
remainder/discount bookseller or, . . what?"

Since I really want to know if this is true, I thought I'd better explain
what Costco is.  It is a huge retail/warehouse type store that you have to
be a member of in order to shop there.  I know it is called Price Club in
California, but I do not know beyond that.  You have to buy huge quantities
of stuff.  They usually have tables of books, software, videos, etc. at
ridiculously low prices.  I bought a copy of Jan Brett's THE HAT for $8.69.
As I stated before, the other teacher said that the author doesn't receive
any money for books sold at Costco.  Does anyone know if this is true?
