Morning in the Jungle

Featuring pop-ups, pull-tabs, and lift-the-flaps, unusually vivid illustrations of jungle creatures animate every page of this color-filled book. Morning has arrived in the jungle, and one by one, the animals are waking up. With the shining sun, a happy monkey swings back and forth by his tail in a tree. An elephant shakes its big trunk, and with the pull of a tab, a snake slithers out from behind a rock. The second half of this charming book depicts night descending in the jungle. Now it�s time for the animals to sleep. Kids can turn a wheel at one page�s edge to make a pair of hippos bob and float in a pool, as they doze off to sleep. In addition to movable parts, many of the pictures have textured sections for toddlers to touchâ€"for instance, a lion�s furry mane and a parrot�s feathery wing. Very young children will adore this book for its charming pictures, its fascinating actions, and most of all for its many delightful animals. (Ages 3�-6)
