Overview

Jungles are full of fascinating creatures that make the most interesting sounds. This fun book takes children deep within the jungle with colorful pop-ups intricately illustrated by world-renowned artist Maurice Pledger. As they enjoy the pop-ups, ittle ones thrill to an assortment of authentic animal sounds that perk up the ears and encourage mimicking. They hear monkeys screeching, elephants trumpheting, a leopard's rippling growl, the sound of jungle bugs, the okapi scurrying across the forest floor, and much more.
