Rumble in the Jungle (Tiger Tales (Prebound)) (School & Library Binding)

by Giles Andreae (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreS. A collection of poems about animals and a story about a journey through the jungle to hunt for them. The search begins as a small group of ants marches off from their hill early in the morning. A verse then introduces each creature as encountered, until the end of the day when all of the animals are ready to sleep. As an added bonus, each poem gives a little information about the animal described. A nice rhythm is established and maintained. An occasional line is awkward, but overall the book reads well. The illustrations are equally playful and eye-catching. Done in oils, each one is bright, bold, and inviting, but totters on the brink of being cute. Large, double-page spreads make the animals easily seen from a distance, but children who view the pictures up close will delight in finding some of the ants on each page. An entertaining selection with lively illustrations and a format suitable for storytimes.?Dawn Ibey, Vancouver Public Library, Canada

Review
An entertaining selection with lively illustrations and a format suitable for storytimes. -- School Library Journal, November 1997

From its zebra-striped endpapers to its goofily grinning fauna, this picture book is a storytime all by itself. -- Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, September 1997 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catchy rhymes, beautiful pictures, July 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Rumble in the Jungle (Hardcover)

"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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An engaging book for children of all ages, March 9, 2002

By	David Lowe "brandgod" (Elk Grove, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Rumble in the Jungle (Hardcover)

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 1/2 month old's 1st favorite!, April 27, 2006

By	Bella & L.J.'s mommy (New Carlisle, IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rumble in the Jungle (Hardcover)

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.
