In the Jungle

A colourful and fun new series that introduces animals and habitats to young children. There’s plenty to spot while looking to see what’s hiding in the jungle. Peep-hole clues help the reader think of the answer before folding out the large flaps to see a wonderfully colourful scene.

Peer into the jungle to discover what’s behind the tall grass, dangling from a tree, sitting amongst the leaves and lurking in the river. Three questions on each animal carefully guide the reader to seek the identity of the animal hiding in the jungle. Die-cut features on the flaps reveal further clues of furrystripes, large teeth, beaks and tails.

Part peek-a-boo, part hide-and-seek, each spread of this large board book features a different animal (four in total) obscured by rainforest foliage. Die-cut windows show certain features of each animal, and clues are offered to help readers guess their hidden identities (“My stripes help me hide in the tall grass. I have sharp claws and teeth. I can see and hear very well”). Lifting one large flap vertically and the other horizontally reveals a striking tiger and cubs. Photos of other common rainforest animals appear on the final spread. The engaging, hands-on design should gratify youngest readers. Up to age 5. (Apr.)
