Kquinata | Oct 29, 2009 | A brother and a sister are left alone in their house. They become bored and decide to go outside to play. When they went to the park to play they came across a board game that was just left there. When they start playing the game they found out they soon got more then what they bargained for. This is a very entertaining book. Every page has a new adventure waiting for the reader. In the end they are able to finish the game which brings everything back to the way it was before. In the classroom I would like for us to watch the movie Jumanji. I would also like for the class to make up their own board games as well. malinacoulter | Oct 25, 2009 | Jumaji is a fantasy fiction story about 2 children who are left alone for an afternoon. The two children discover the game Jumanji and they decide to play the game. Even though the game looked like every other board game, the children where in for a crazy adventure. This book has very detailed illustrations and it is appropriate for more advanced readers. (  ) Madalyn333 | Oct 21, 2009 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0395304482, Hardcover)When Judy and Peter find a board game in the park, they take it home, hoping to alleviate their boredom. One live lion, an erupting volcano, and a dozen destructive monkeys later, the children are no longer bored. Their jungle adventure game has come to life! Chris Van Allsburg is a master at walking the line between fantasy and reality. His unusually sculptured drawings (familiar to the many devoted fans of the Caldecott-winning The Polar Express and The Garden of Abdul Gasazi) convey the magical transition of a normal house to an exotic jungle. Readers will tremble along with Judy and Peter, urging them to roll the dice that will plunge them from one perilous predicament into another. Jumanji, a New York Times Best Illustrated Book and winner of the 1982 Caldecott Medal, is sure to amaze and thrill even the most jaded young reader. (Ages 9 to 12)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:58 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
