If you can believe it, my 3 1/2 month old absolutely LOVES this book. I figured she would like the bright illustrations, and boy was I right! Each time I turn the page, I am rewarded with a squeal of delight and her pumping her little legs with excitement. Reading it once is usually not enough for her. She begins to fuss when I close the book and put it down. As soon as I open it again, she's quiet and still. Turn the first page and, yep, you guessed it. I am thrilled she has her first favorite book-and one I love to read to her over and over. I am glad that it is not a five word book, like some books for children. The rhyming is great, too.
"Wumble Jungle" as my two-year-old calls it, is a day-long safari that introduces young children to different wild animals. It features catchy rhymes that may or may not make sense (but this doesn't bother my two children, 5 and 2), and bright cheerful pictures. It's become part of our stable of bedtime story reading material. Keep an eye out for Andreae's other book, "Giraffes Can't Dance". I read it in my son's class and got applause from enraptured children at the end of the tale.
I read Rumble in the Jungle to a 3rd grade class for "Read Across America Day." I figured it might be a little below their reading ability but the humor and pictures made it all worthwhile! They loved the goofy rhymes (one is about an animal "being cool.") I'll be buying it for my own kids, ages 2 and 6!
Bought this after our daughter absolutely loved Giraffes Can't Dance, but this book isn't quite as endearing. The illustrations are equally as interesting and bright, and it's bigger than a regular board book, but some of the poems are awkward.
My preschooler adores this book, both the rhymes and illustrations. I enjoy it because it belongs in that rare class of children's books that parents can read REPEATEDLY without gritting their teeth from the pain of repetition. And as any parent knows, that's what will happen when your child falls in love with a book. I really wish I could find prints to decorate my child's walls with the fantastic illustrations also - simple and eye catching in lots of bright colors.
This is a great book! Great colors and pictures, fun rhymes.Read this to your child. Give each animal his own voice. If you can't, call me on speakerphone and I'll read it to them.Every child should own this book.
My 3-year didn't care for the book that much but it's OK. I think the art is nice but not detailed enough for my son. It was not quite what I expected, that is, a multi-page story. It's more like a group of animal flash cards put together in a book.
This is truly a great book for little ones, engaging rhyming scheme that catches little minds without having to try too hard. Wonderful visuals that make it easy to look over repeatedly. I read it so many times to my now 17-year old son, I can still repeat the opening sequence, word for word! "There's a rumble in the jungle, there's a whisper in the trees...." I use it now just to embarrass him. Have bought several copies as gifts for nieces and nephews - always a big hit!
