Young children will love finding out about jungle creatures with these smart 'snappy' pop-up books. Each of the five spreads features a pop-up bird, animal or reptile (a crocodile, hippo, toucan, orangutan and a leopard), but the pages are split so you don't know which mix of animals you will find - which will make children giggle and, I am sure, reach out to find other funny pairings. With younger children, you can share the noise the creature makes; there are also notes in rhyming text under flaps that share some facts about that creature. The pop-ups are nicely produced, very sturdy, and would certainly add to any displays you're doing around the topics the books cover - Jungle in this book and a sister title, Farm. * Reading Zone * Always fun to mix and match animals and this pop up book of roaring animals is a delight. * Angles and Urchins * Children can design their own animal faces with this mix and match pop-up book. They might, for example, create a 'crocopotamus' by combining the top of a crocodiles face with the bottom of a hippopotamus. As each flap is opened, the boldly coloured, openmouthed animals amuse and surprise with their sharp teeth and funny grins. Children can join in with chomps, croaks, snaps and oohs, turning over leaves to reveal factual information about real animals. As well as learning about animals and enjoying the playfulness of language, this book supports children with phonics. Written animal names are split with the flaps, so as children combine, say, an orangutan and a leopard they have fun sounding out 'orangupard'. The words are in capital letters to reflect the drama of the illustrations, so very early readers would need extra support. This book is great fun and will delight children whatever their age and stage. * Early Years Educator *
