Zoe's Jungle

by Bethanie Deeney Murguia Narrated by Cris Dukehart

Overview

High above the jungle floor, fearless Zoe, explorer extraordinaire, catches a glimpse of the rare wild Addiebeast. She springs over the treeline in hot pursuit - And then Zoe's mother calls, 'WE'RE LEAVING IN FIVE MINUTES!' Yet Zoe still has so much to do on the playground, which transforms into a jungle in her imagination! So against the ticking clock of Mama's countdown, she chases the Addiebeast across precarious logs (balance beams), escapes from wild monkeys in their natural habitat (the jungle gym), and climbs to the very top of the rainforest (a tree house). But can she catch the elusive creature in time?

K-Gr 2—Mom is giving Zoe and Addie only five more minutes to play. Is that enough time for an intrepid explorer to stalk the wild Addiebeast? The playground becomes an imaginary jungle as time ticks down and the girls squeeze in as much adventure as they possibly can. Readers dive into a child's make-believe world in this delightful tale about Zoe and her little sister. Lively jungle rhythms introduce the story, and Cris Dukehart reads the tale with vim, creating distinctive voices for both girls. VERDICT Since the pictures carry much of the book's childlike exuberance, this charming audio production would be best used with the book for an enjoyable reading/listening experience.—Teresa Bateman, Brigadoon Elementary, Federal Way, WA
