Jumanji, The Book


Van Allsburg, C. (1981)  Jumanji

Judy and Peter find a board game and take it home, in anticipation of some excitement.  When all of the make-believe items in the game, including a lion, an erupting volcano and a dozen wild monkeys, begin coming to life, the children are no longer bored. Chris Van Allsburg magically transforms an ordinary house into an exotic jungle.  He is a master at creating fantastic stories and characters.  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.
