남미 아마존의 열대우림에서 거대한 Kapok 나무를 베기 위해 숲속으로 들어 온 젊은 인부는 잠시 쉬기 위해 누웠다가 잠이 듭니다. 꿈 속에서 숲 속에 사는 동물들이 차례로 나타나 숲을 파괴하지 말 것을 간절히 요청합니다. 젊은 인부가 베어 버리려는 거대한 Kapok Tree는 비단뱀에게는 조상 때부터 살아온 삶의 터전이고, 벌은 이 나무에 벌집을 짓고 살아가고 있으며, 원숭이들과 새들과 개구리들은 숲이 파괴될 때의 위험성을 경고합니다. 표범은 숲이 파괴되면 자기의 먹이도 사라진다고 얘기하고, 고슴도치는 숲이 파괴되면 산소는 누가 만드냐고 항의합니다. 개미 핥기는 지금의 이익을 위해 나무를 베면 후손들은 나무없는 세상에서 살게 될 것이라고 경고하고, 나무늘보는 열대우림의 아름다움을 파괴하지 말라고 호소합니다. 마지막으로 인디언 소년은 젊은 인부에게 잠에서 깨어나면 새로운 눈으로 숲속의 모든 것을 바라볼 것을 부탁합니다. 잠에서 깨어난 젊은 인부는 침묵 속에서 자기를 둘러싸고 있는 동물들과 인디언 소년을 바라봅니다. 그리고 열대우림의 아름다움을 깨닫게 되지요....
아름다운 열대우림과 그 속에서 사는 동물들의 모습을 펜과 물감을 이용한 세밀화로 보여주며, 자연 보호의 중요성을 깨닫게 해줍니다.

Annotation
The many different animals that live in a great kapok tree in the Brazilian rainforest try to convince a man with an ax of the importance of not cutting down their home.
From the Publisher
This inspired look at what the Kapok tree means to the creatures that live in it-and what rain forests mean to the world's ecology-was at the forefront of the ecological movement ten years ago and continues to resonate profoundly with children everywhere.
Synopsis
This inspired look at what the Kapok tree means to the creatures that live in it-and what rain forests mean to the world's ecology--was at the forefront of the ecological movement ten years ago and continues to resonate profoundly with children everywhere.
Publisher's Weekly
In this breathtakingly beautiful picture book, Cherry combines illustrations that reveal a naturalist's reverence for beauty with a mythlike story that explains the ecological importance of saving the rain forests. The text is not a didactic treatise, but a simply told story about a man who falls asleep while chopping down a kapok tree. The forest's inhabitants--snakes, butterflies, a jaguar, and finally a child--each whisper in his ear about the terrible consequences of living in ``a world without trees'' or beauty, about the interconnectedness of all living things. When the man awakens and sees all the extraordinary creatures around him, he leaves his ax and ``walks out of the rain forest.'' A map showing the earth's endangered forests and the creatures that dwell within ends the book which, like the rain forests themselves, is ``wondrous and rare.''
Children's Literature
When a man enters the forest to cut down a giant Kapok tree he is lulled to sleep by the heat and hum of the forest. As if in a dream, he is visited by creatures large and small, who educate him about what is at risk by the damage he intends. Sense of community, interdependency, oxygenation, and harmony are some of the balances that are made precarious by his intention. Finally, a Yanamamo Indian child asks the man to wake and see the forest with new eyes. The man does so; he sees the beauty and leaves the forest, dropping his ax on the way. Lynne Cherry grew up loving nature, drawing and writing. All three support this book by reaching right into the hearts of children and adults. - Susie Wilde
Children's Literature
In this modern fable, a man enters the Brazilian rainforest to chop down a great kapok tree. Exhausted from his labors, he puts down his ax and falls asleep at the foot of the tree. During his slumber, the rainforest animals emerge one-by-one and plead with him not to destroy their world. When the man wakes up, he notices the beauty of the rainforest and its creatures and decides to spare the tree. - Debra Briatico
School Library Journal
Exhausted from heat and exertion, a lone man rests at the base of a Kapok tree that he is intent on felling. As he dozes, the animal residents of the enormous tree come to him, explain the tree's vital importance to their existence, and gently implore him to reconsider his labors. Lastly, a child of the Yanomamo tribe begs him to ``please look upon us all with new eyes.'' He awakens to the menagerie assembled and seems to see them for the first time. The man departs, leaving his ax behind. This thinly veiled nature and conservation lesson succeeds in giving a simplified picture of the rain forest--from its canopy to its dense understory--and the interdependence of all the plant and animal life that exists within this fragile, shrinking ecosystem. Cherry's rich colored-pencil and watercolor drawings fairly buzz with life. She totally engages readers' attention and senses through vivid detail, dramatic perspective, and lifelike accuracy. The flora and fauna of the lush, steamy Brazilian rain forest seem to grow before readers' eyes, surrounding the text and the peaceful young man as he sleeps. Although the talking animals somewhat diminish the power of the message and undermine its seriousness, The Great Kapok Tree gives young readers a glimpse of and a feeling for an environment vastly different from their own. Spectacular endpapers include a map of the world's tropical rain forests and the amazing array of Amazon wildlife.
