Publisher Description

A small child is making his way through the jungle, first walking, then creeping, running, leaping, swinging and finally wading. As he goes, he hears various noises - ssssss, grrrrrrr, trump trump, roarrrrr, chitter chatter, snap snap - after each of which the page is turned to reveal the animal responsible. Text and artwork combine to encourage audience participation on the levels of both sound and movement - and to create a guessing game. Julie Lacome has illustrated "Sing a Song of Sixpence"; "A was Once an Apple Pie"; "I'm a Jolly Farmer"; "Noisy Noises on the Farm" and "The Shape of Things".

Notes

Bright, bold torn-paper collages bring this traditional rhyme of animal sounds to life - and there is a new, surprise ending. A good book for toddlers.

Author Biography

Review

A real romp. Dazzling images astound and exicte little ones to swing, creep, run and leap through a flower-decked jungle. * Eastern Daily Press *
A firm favourite. * Liverpool Echo *
