Jungle Drums

Was afraid this book would be pretty beat up as I had to purchase it in a lower category than usual, but it came better than most “Very Good” and “Like New” books I’ve purchased! I love the artwork, it’s one of my favorite Graeme Base books☺️

Children's books have long been used to shape ideas and values for kids-remember the impact that Cinderella finding Prince Charming has had on millions of women all over the world? Jungle Drums is another classic book that teaches kids that different is just different, not better or worse. Beautifully illustrated, the book draws readers into the Jungle where unbelievable things happen to the warthogs and their rivals. The hero is little Ngiri, a warthog, who learns valuable lessons on friendship and self-esteem.

The person who received this book enjoyed it immensely and shared it with the children at her elementary school. They had a wonderful time searching through the beautiful illustrations for the hidden surprises.

I have bought all of Graeme Base's books for our now 9 year old granddaughter. I have been recommending them to friends for their grandchildren and asked tonight which she liked best. She said "Jungle Book" and went into the reasons she liked it best. She had told me earlier that he is her favorite author. She read her first at 7 years and I have tried to keep her supplied. Though I don't think that "Discovery of Dragons"is for small children. The language is very sophisticated.

I bought this book for my 5 year old and it is one of our favorites. The story is interesting and the pictures are fantastic. A great plus is the fun you and your children will have searching for the hidden wildebeast. They are always easy to find! Great for a gift as well!

Being an artist and art teacher, Graeme Base books are some of my favorite. I purchase every book when it comes out. The great stories, and the fantastic illustrations...and this book is not exception. Some of his best illustrations, and a great story in the ugly duckling realm with a twist or two. Highly suggest for all ages!
