One of my friends was having a book clearout, as her children were getting a little too big for some of their books and with Christmas coming up they needed to make room. My daughter loves learning about animals, as most young children do. My friend immediately thought of Lily-May when she was in the process of getting rid of this book and passed it over, it was an instant hit with her. ==The Book== The book is paperback and is written and illustrated by Julie Lacome, she has written and illustrated 30 something other books, such as 'Ruthie's Big Old Coat', 'Hocus Pocus' and 'I'm a Jolly Farmer', amongst many others.

This book was in a Bookstart pack that i received from the library for my son. He was very excited to see that he had this book and another for us to read. This book is by Julie Lacome.

The boy moves in a variety of ways throughout the book. Each part of the story is told over a double page. The 1st of each double page starts off with a short rhyming paragraph.

This book was the second one that Toby received in his 'Bookstart' bag following his 2 year developmental check. Written by Julie Lacome, 'Walking through the jungle' follows a little boy, (which I assumed you pretend it's actually the child looking at the book) and his journey through the jungle. A double page is used for each part of the story, where most books I've seen have the writing on one half and the picture on the other; this is divided into ¼ double page writing and ¾ double page picture. Each double page then alternates between the boy on his journey and an animal in the jungle. (Not sure what I mean! Here is the first few pages to give ...  Read the complete review

Weve had this book for 18 months now and its still a firm favourite. In fact being lightweight, thin and fun it travels with us everywhere! I was suprised recently to come across it on amazon for £12.34 (rrp £18.99!) as it came free in my daughters bookstart bag.
