Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

For Benedicte Guettier's In the Jungle..., a die-cut cover opens to form a hole for readers to poke their heads through (state fair-style) and take on the identities of a half dozen animals (one per spread), including a "fuzzy bear," "noisy elephant" and "a silly monkey" (a banana balanced on its head). Color-saturated backgrounds enhance the offering. Ages 6 mos.
3 years.

I picked this book up at the zoo - but liked it so much I have bought more copies from Amazon for other kids. My 13 month old is very amused by this book. Each page has an animal head - with a face missing. My son always giggles when someone picks up the book and makes a face through the page opening. He is even amused when we put him in front of a mirror with the book open with his face in the opening!

We bought this book as a gift for our 1 year old. He LOVES sticking his face through the hole and making the animal sound. It has been a fun way to introduce him to animals and their sounds. He also loves it when Mommy or Daddy pretend along with him!! The pictures and the story are really cute!
