Trunks with RED bark, BROWN bark, and WHITE bark. What we see will depend on the type of forest we're in— tropical , temperate , or boreal . 3 Close to the equator, we'll find tropical rainforests . Temperate forests are between the equator and the polar regions. And we'll bundle up and visit the boreal forests in the far north.

I see an old giant, anchored by wavy planks.
It is home to flowers, monkeys, and frogs.
I see a kapok tree in the rainforest.
I see branches reaching in all directions,

full of acorns and broad leaves.
It is home to spiders, opossums, and woodpeckers.
I see an oak tree in a temperate forest.
I see pinecones and needle leaves and red bark.
It is home to porcupines, grouse, and mice.
I see a ponderosa pine in a boreal forest.
