I am a student of West Virginia State College, currently taking a class on Children's Literature. Mr. Samples (A Wonderful Teacher) has instructed us to review a Caldecott winner and write our thoughts on it. I read this book after seeing the movie and, of course, it is quite different. I thoroughly enjoyed this book because of the differences and its speedy nature. I believe that children of various ages would enjoy this book because of the quick adventure and excellent illustrations. I would recommend this book to anyone for a classic family reading time, classroom reading, or bedtime story!

This exciting story is great for reading aloud to the family. Two children find an african jungle themed board game which they take home and play. Each move of the playing pieces causes surprising and often destructive events (volcanic eruptions, stampeeding rhinos etc...) to occur in the house. The remarkable illustrations accompany the text perfectly. Your imagination will run wild!!!

Jumanji is one of the most beautifully illustrated books I haveever seen. The story tells us of a young boy's adventures when he ismagically drawn into the world of a board game. He encounters all sorts of jungle creatures and fights to find his way back to the real world and his family.

This book was introduced to me through a college course in teaching reading to elementary school students. Our class was transfixed by the engaging story and gorgeously rendered black and white drawings. I consider this a classic children's book and one of the best illustrated books of recent years. This is a great gift for a child or an adult!

This is a fanastic picture book. The pictures capture the beauty of the words and it's a wonderful combination. I loved this book, even if the movie is more action-packed. This book is a real treasure.
