Alex Toys: Jungle Party

Quirky digital animal characters star in this fun concept book from toy company Alex Toys. When a group of jungle animals decide to have a party, they invite animal guests from a farm, the ocean, and even the Arctic. Oppositional words are highlighted on facing pages: "Cow thinks about her home. %E2%80%98The farm is very dry,' she says. Elephant thinks about his home. %E2%80%98The jungle is very wet,' says Elephant." Stickers, cardboard pieces for constructing 3D animal figures, and a paper party hat are included. Simon packs a lot of ingredients into the mix, but with harmonious results. Ages 3%E2%80%935. (July)
