In the Jungle

Benedicte Guettier. Kane/Miller Book Publishers, $11.95 (14pp) ISBN 978-1-929132-38-6

For Benedicte Guettier's In the Jungle..., a die-cut cover opens to form a hole for readers to poke their heads through (state fair-style) and take on the identities of a half dozen animals (one per spread), including a ""fuzzy bear,"" ""noisy elephant"" and ""a silly monkey"" (a banana balanced on its head). Color-saturated backgrounds enhance the offering.
