Here are two simple ways to say the same jungle paragraph for a 7-year-old:

  1. In the tall, wet trees of the Amazon, bright parrots sit and squawk. Down below in the rivers, crocodiles and sharp-toothed piranhas wait. In the Asian jungle you can spot a peacock spreading its shiny tail, a scaly pangolin, and a striped tiger.

  2. The Amazon's treetops are thick and dripping with rain, full of colorful parrots. In the rivers beneath, crocodiles and piranhas hide. In jungles in Asia you might see a peacock show off its sparkly tail, a scaly pangolin, and a tiger with bold stripes.
