The Quest for the Tree Kangaroo: An Expedition to the Cloud Forest of New Guinea (Scientists in the Field Series)

The world so big yet so interesting. If I was younger, I would find a way to Visit New Guinea.

The Quest for the Tree Kangaroo By Sy Montgomery This is a middle-grade book with lots of information about tree kangaroos and a group of scientists that set out to study them. It also gave information about other animals and plants that live in that area, native people, and their role in helping the scientists. Lots of nice photos.

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.

Fun to read with grandkids

This is a spectacular book. It is exciting and intriguing and the photography is awesome. I read this book while taking a Children's Literature class and instantly changed my mind about non-fiction literature. This book would definitely hold kid's attention. It is fantastic! I will definitely be purchasing more Scientists in the Field Series.

Using this as a listening comprehension book was great. The kids were excited and it then became a great writing prompt in which we made travel brochures.

very informative book, great condition, shipped fast! thanks would recommend this book AND seller! my daughter enjoyed it, and wants a tree kangaroo for herself! The Roger WIlliams zoo in this book was unavailable to speak to however!

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.

Wunderschöner Bildband mit englischem Text, aber sehr gut lesbar. Ein extrem gut erklärtes Werk zu den seltenen Baumkängurus auf Neuguinea. Die Natur und ihre Einwohner auf der Insel werden sehr gut und detailliert beschrieben. Für mich als Reiseliebhaber und Geografie-Interessierte überaus spannend und faszinierend. Ich werde mir noch weitere Bände von Sy Montgomery bestellen.

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.
