Jungle King (open sesame)

This book is one of my daughter's favorites. Each page features a jungle creature who claims that he is "king of the jungle." The corner of each page is hinged though and pulls out to reveal a different creature who then claims, "No, I'm king of the jungle!" At the end, there is a little mouse who says "Everyone knows who the king of the jungle really is!"The storyline is just OK, but the quality of the illustrations is very good...bold, glossy and high interest. Also, the way that the corner of each page pulls out is inventive and captures childrens' interest. It's a good way to practice motor skills and different in concept than most interactive books.Another good feature is that this book is very sturdy and hard to destroy (a plus with a grabby toddler). Unlike so many pop up books that are easily pulled off or apart, I'm not afraid to let my daughter handle this one on her own. She can work the pages on her own and the book is holding up beautifully.Overall, a nice book for a toddler...not too many words to overwhelm them, simple concept, good for motor skills, solid construction, and attractive illustrations.
