The Most Beautiful Roof in the World by Katheryn Lasky, is about a scientist named Meg Lowmam, who studies the rainforest in Belize. Although this is a nonfiction book it does use concrete language and sensory details to describe Meg’s interesting experience in the rainforest. In pages 9-12 of The Most Beautiful Roof in the World, Kathryn Lasky uses concrete language and sensory details. to help us understand and   ephasize how important the rainforest and it’s canopy is to our world and ecosystems. 

In this book on page 12 the author uses some interesting words and phrases to describe the rainforest and its beauty and importance. For example it says in the text “ “In this shadowed world pierced occasionally by slivers of sunlight are more varieties of living things than perhaps any other place on earth.” This shows the tremendous amount of living things that thrive in the rainforest. In addition to that the words “shadowed” and “slivers of sunlight” help us picture the rainforest. Another thing stated in the text is “It is the very diversity of the rainforest that allows life to thrive everywhere.” This helps the reader understand that the rainforest has a significant impact on our world. 

Similarly, pages 9-10 use intriguing words and phrases to explain how the canopy is an immensely important part of the rainforest but is difficult to reach. I know this because on page 9 it states in the text “They could only wonder about the canopy brilliantly lit, noisy with bird life and the chattering of monkey’s. They knew that the canopy was the “powerhouse” of the rainforest” Another example is “The canopy is where rainforest life begins. Yet for years it remained out of reach.”
