I found this book pretty cheap at a local grocery store and it was an instant hit! The story is a cumulative mouthful, but well worth the read to a group of children. The great thing about cumulative books is that the kids want to finish the pages for you. The illustrations are magnificent and bold. Very colorful and fill the page. The right type face was definatly chosen!

Through The Heart Of The Jungle is the collaboratively effort of author Jonathan Emmett and illustrator Elena Gomez. Young readers are taken on an adventure through the heart of the jungle. They will find a buzzing fly is not alone because there is a spider waiting to gobble the fly. A toad is right behind the spider, and so on and on until the chain of predator and prey leads up to the lion! The rhythmic text is perfectly showcased with lush, colorful artwork making Through The Heart Of The Jungle a popular and recommended addition to any personal or library picture book collection.

This is a firm favourite of both my Godsons! The pictures are colourful & eye catching and keep them entertained. After we have read it together they always want to play a part of one of the animals!! Would recommend it!

There are many children's books on the market today and as a parent, I am always on the lookout for something special, a book that grabs the imagination of my son and delights him in a magical way. This book, and Ms. Gomez' illustrations in particular, create a wonderful world of colors and creatures that my son has responded to in the most wonderful way. Through the Heart of the Jungle has become a instant favorite and one that I enjoy reading to him time after time. Do yourself and your child the greatest favor and add this book to your collection. You will both delight in the experience.

I bought this book for my seven year old son, but I think I enjoy reading it and looking at the pictures just as much as he does. The artwork is wonderful and the words have a great rhythm that almost turns the pages for you. If you want a book that your children will love right now and a book that they will hold on to, to read to their own children some day, then this is a must have!

We were bought this book by a friend for my son's birthday. I came on amazon to see if there were any follow-ups as he hasn't let it go out of his site since. Does anybody know of any other similar books. We need to keep him quiet and fear this magic won't last forever!??

We have only just bought this book but my two boys just adore the bright pictures and the wonderful jungle animals. As a child I loved the rhyme 'There was an old lady who swallowed a fly' and this is obviously a modern day version. With lots of great jungle pictures there is always alot to talk about when reading this book. A must for all small children's bookshelves.
