Rumble In The Jungle

This is a cute little coloful book that introduces children to some common animals that are at at a zoo. There is information on each animal in the book so your child can learn a little something about each animal.

My 3 1/2 month old's 1st favorite!

If you can believe it, my 3 1/2 month old absolutely LOVES this book. I figured she would like the bright illustrations, and boy was I right! Each time I turn the page, I am rewarded with a squeal of delight and her pumping her little legs with excitement. Reading it once is usually not enough for her. She begins to fuss when I close the book and put it down. As soon as I open it again, she's quiet and still. Turn the first page and, yep, you guessed it. I am thrilled she has her first favorite book-and one I love to read to her over and over. I am glad that it is not a five word book, like some books for children. The rhyming is great, too.

An engaging book for children of all ages

I read Rumble in the Jungle to a 3rd grade class for "Read Across America Day." I figured it might be a little below their reading ability but the humor and pictures made it all worthwhile! They loved the goofy rhymes (one is about an animal "being cool.") I'll be buying it for my own kids, ages 2 and 6!

Catchy rhymes, beautiful pictures

"Wumble Jungle" as my two-year-old calls it, is a day-long safari that introduces young children to different wild animals. It features catchy rhymes that may or may not make sense (but this doesn't bother my two children, 5 and 2), and bright cheerful pictures. It's become part of our stable of bedtime story reading material. Keep an eye out for Andreae's other book, "Giraffes Can't Dance". I read it in my son's class and got applause from enraptured children at the end of the tale.

Great rhymes, fun pictures

An excellent book for children who love rhymes. superb pictures with lots to act out ( if your children like that sort of thing. This is an enormous favourite with our boys, 4 and 1.5 yrs. Every child who visits makes a bee-line for this one as well.

Eyecatching illustrations and snappy phrases.

We have read to our son since he was born. He received this book as a gift, at the age of 9 months. By 14 months of age, he was able to recite, word per word, each verse describing the various different animals. He absolutely loved the vivid colors in the pictures and enjoyed locating all the tiny ants in each illustration. He is now 3 years old and demanded to take this book to his preschool class for show and tell. Need I say more?
