BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Similar to the scenes you see while riding on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, this book has ten page spreads that show different animals. Each page has rhyming text about the picture and illustrations that are green and dark. At the end of the book, the reader feels as though they are pulling up to the dock at the end of the ride and they see skipper Paul.
This book is fun because it reminded me of the Jungle Cruise and that’s one of my favorite rides. The illustrations are dark which was disappointing because it makes the book less appealing. Also, the rhymes don’t always work, such as the line: “Look! There’s a tiger, striped black and orange! Oops-nothing rhymes with orange.” Which doesn’t make for a great read aloud. Cute idea, but not executed very well.
