'Now THAT is what you call a bounteous children's book!' * Huff Post * 'Striking, atmospheric illustration introduces the food chain concept through simple, poetic language - with an expansive gatefold spread showing the vast array of jungle life.' * The Guardian * 'This book is simply stunning with a superb visual impact. Laura Knowles' simple text introduces us to the world of the jungle. Her words are accompanied by vibrant pictures by James Boast, that use the brightest colours you could imagine. More than that, subtly concealed in each picture are the outlines of animals -....and the words fit the pictures to perfection. An outstanding book which provides an early introduction to food chains.' --Parents In Touch * Parents In Touch * 'For toddlers Once Upon A Jungle with its vivid animals moving through brilliantly coloured flowers, is stunning; its dreamlike shapes for children aged two and above are inspired by Rousseau.' * New Statesman * 'Enter the jungle in glorious technicolour... Stunning non-fiction' * Picture Book Blogger *More details
