This book brings about many adventures for Peter and Judy including wild monkeys, giant mosquitoes, head hunters, and more! In the end, the brother and sister are closer than ever. BrennaSheridan | Jun 10, 2009 |   The book has a wonderful illustration of two bored children who escape into the world of the jungle through a mystery board game. The book is so imaginative and unique. (  )HeatherSwinford | May 12, 2009 | This story is so much better then the movie because the illustrations force the reader to become enthrolled with the text. The illustrations are drawn in black ink and are very detailed. I greatly enjoyed reading this book to my nephews and they liked it even more. carrie.murphy | Mar 15, 2009 | This is a good example of fantasy because this story would not be possible in real life. For instance, board games do not come to life and jungle animals appear in the house. Secondly, a bit of truth is present because children do play board games like Peter and Judy play Jumanji. Setting: This is an appropriate setting because Judy and Peter find the game at the park and then play the game at their house.

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. |
