The Jungle Crew: With 5 Paper Animals and Scenery to Make

Teach your children about the animals of the rainforest with this fun and educational book. It is part of a new series alongside two other titles, The Safari Set and The Polar Pack, that focus on the Savannah and polar regions. Five animals are explored through rhyme, pictures, and pull-out 2D figures to construct into 3D: monkey, crocodile, tree frog, parrot, and toucan. With two spreads dedicated to each animal, adults are able to read the short playful rhyme on each spread to children and look at the bright illustrations to teach them about the animal and its environment. Children are then able to pop out the paper animals from the perforated pages contained in a pocket in the back of the book and create 3D figures simply by folding and adding few dabs of glue. The inside of the dust jacket is printed full color with a representation of the animals’ environment in a style identical to the illustrations within the book. Children have the option of using this as a backdrop and there are also accessories to make and add to the scene.
