Product Description
Jungles are full of fascinating creatures that make the most interesting sounds. This fun book takes children deep within the jungle with colorful pop-ups intricately illustrated by world-renowned artist Maurice Pledger. As they enjoy the pop-ups, ittle ones thrill to an assortment of authentic animal sounds that perk up the ears and encourage mimicking. They hear monkeys screeching, elephants trumpheting, a leopard's rippling growl, the sound of jungle bugs, the okapi scurrying across the forest floor, and much more.

Animal pop-up with sounds July 9, 2008
Maurice Pledger's book have the great illustrations that are detailed and true to life. Any of his books should be visually pleasing. This book contains five two-page pop-up layouts covering jungles around the world (African, Asian, Australian, Central American, and South American). Each layout has animals and insects that are found in an area featured (e.g., clearing, canopy, floor, edge). When you open the to a pop-up page, sounds that one would hear in that area play( e.g., stream, birds, leopards). The sounds play for a few seconds but, with a slight manipulation of the page, can easily be played again. Between each pop-up layout is a page with more information on each of the species featured with a numbered diagram to help identify each one.
This book could be a favorite that grows with a child, as the colorful pop-ups and sounds will entertain when young, and the info and topic could be discussed when older. The sounds are nice b/c they aren't continuous, and battery replacement is an option.
The pop-ups are nice with animal movement or springing up from the page. I do not feel the pop-ups are lacking, but they aren't as dazzling as some of the paper engineering out there. Of the pop-up action in the books I have seen in this series, this book is not as active as the Nighttime book. This one does have a wonderful chameleon that come straight out at you on the first page.
