Jungle Party
The reappearance ofJungle Partybrings a welcome reminder of what a picture book can be when draughtsmanship, colour, design and a real feel for the bookness of a book come together. --CarouselClassic picture books are making a comeback. Several good ones are back in print after long absences. That means that todays children can read some of the books their parents or grandparents once loved.These books [do not] have glitter or flocking, gold inlay or panels that emit sound. The authors and illustrators are celebrities only in the [world of books for children]. What they do have are satisfying stories and illustrations that are timeless.Star Bright [Books] has reissued [a] beautiful picture book by the eminent illustrator Brian Wildsmith...The art and storytelling [are] superb. --The Plain Dealer
