Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-09 00:00:00 James Bonnell This is a nice, simple story which I would read to a EYFS class when covering a topic such as the jungle. The illustrations are bright and colourful making it a great book to read aloud. The text rhymes and young children will soon learn to chant along with you as you read. There are also plenty of actions in the book such as swinging in the trees with the monkeys and wading through the swamp with the crocodiles, which would be fun to do with a young class. This is a good basic resource and it should be read with passion and excitement and plenty of suspense in order for the children to get the most out of it. The sounds made by the animals hold potential for fun interaction with the class and as the text is not descriptive you could ask the children to come up with words to describe the animals in the illustrations.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-06-30 00:00:00 Rick Ferrara I used this book as part of a week long scheme of work for English. The book has some really effective rhyming paragraphs which follow a regular pattern throughout, allow for effective reinforcement of the notion of rhyme. The regular layout of the paragraphs also allows for discussion/reinforcement of word classes. I found the illustrations to be charming but average, which is what I would say about the book as a whole- I think the children enjoyed it a lot more than I did! I thought it was a little unoriginal and dated, but the children loved it!
