The Jungle — Dan Ryan

Imagine an adventure to the jungle where the animals talk! Sam Sam is a four year old boy whose imagination sees his cubby friends, Marzipan (his faithful cat â€" who also talks), Spoon, Dish and Tock (the cubby wall clock) come to life and join him on an adventure to The Jungle. The group come across a baby monkey who is lost, and they travel through the jungle to help him find his Mum. Along the way they meet a friendly lion, a hippo and Tommy Toucan. The animals all offer to help but warn Sam Sam and his friends to watch out for the big snake that lives in the jungle and isn't so friendly. This book is superbly illustrated and children will want to read the story over and over, as they too will imagine sharing Sam Sam's adventure.
