Rumble in The Jungle Giles Andreae

This book was written by Giles Andreae and illustrations David Wojtowycz. Rumble in the Jungle, there's a whisper in the trees is about jungle animals and the more you read the more animals you encounter in the jungle. A chimpanzee, a lion and elephant and so on. With each animal there is a short poem of 4-5 lines describing the animals character.



The colorful illustrations, rhyme and rhythm used to create a wonderful engaging and funny story to read to children. The book flows very nicely from page to page focusing on each animal with each page having a large print of the animals name. There are lots of colorful illustrations all throughout the book which will surely capture a child's attention.










My personal thoughts about this book is that i absolutely love this book. The rhyming flows nicely from each page and as a result of all the different animal characteristics you find yourself getting into character and putting on silly voices to reflect the animal traits. This would be a wonderful book with the theme regarding wild animals. I would recommend this book for any teacher working on an animal theme.



I would ask my students the following questions:

1. If you could be any animal in the jungle what would it be and why?

2. Do you think that the animals in the jungle could all truly get along? Why or why not?



Classroom activities:

1. Have the children to recreate the story by putting on a play for their classmates.

2. There is a lot of rhyming in the story, have the children to pick out the rhyming in the story.
