Little Brown Nut starts small, with a large, weighty fruit falling from the tallest tree in the Amazon rainforest. Inside is a little brown Brazil nut, surrounded by 19 others. It sits and waits for an agouti, a rodent with teeth so strong that it can free the nut from its hard casing, so it can grow into a tall Brazil nut tree. This story will transport you to the Amazon rainforest and the animals and people who flourish and live there.
