What is Down in the jungle about?

Deep in the jungle, a lively group of animals is getting ready for something special. Peek through the die-cut holes to discover who is busy preparing, then join the animals as they sing, move and make plenty of noise. Based on the traditional counting rhyme, this colourful board book invites young children to spot the animals, copy their actions and sing along. With playful illustrations, repeated words and a cheerful jungle party, it helps make early counting and language development fun.
