Jumanji

Jumanji

by Chris Van Allsburg (Author)

Synopsis

The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peter and Judy had at home. But they were bored and restless and, looking for something interesting to do, thought they'd give Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizzare adventure of their lives.

Media Reviews
Jumanji is recognised as a picture book classic, deserving of a place on every child's bookshelf -- Andrea Reece * Lovereading4Kids, Book of the Month November 2017 *
A beautiful simplicity of design, balance, texture, and a subtle intelligence beyond the call of illustration. * New York Times *
A potent vision that lingers on and on * Booklist, starred review *
Illustrated by fabulously realistic drawings of surreal adventures, pictures that are so infinitely detailed in three dimensions that they appear to move, breathe, and make sounds. * Publishers Weekly *
The illustrations are first class precise draughtsmanship with extraordinary imagery * The School Librarian *
