Everyone will want to get up and dance to this toe-tapping favourite!
Reviews / Votes
'Just the present for over-excited toddlers in need of a little energy displacement. More than just a picture book, this sing-along, find-the-animal extravaganza, will get young children dancing from beginning to end... lively, high volume pictures showing an impossible, but totally beguiling jiving jungle world'-- Independent magazine 'The vibrant, fun illustrations in this book are packed full of jungle animals to find and count. The rhyme bounces along introducing a colourful collection of intriguing animals through lively word play and repetition.' -- Nursery Education 'Young children will love to sing and dance the animal boogie with the friendly creatures in this wonderful jungle... This will have parents and children up and dancing around the kitchen!' -- BBC ParentingMore details
