So what we have here is a little board book that's been based on the scene in Disney's Tarzan where the apes and an elephant trash the human campsite. It's been a long time since I saw the movie, but it was indeed one of the more memorable scenes. I'm not really sure where we acquired this book. It's been far too long since we've seen Disney's Tarzan for my wife or I to have noticed it. Likely it was picked up by a family member simply because it was a board book. With Jungle Jam we have a small board book, about 3 inches square. It's small, but sturdy. It has drawings (Peter Emslie, Pencils; Adrienne Brown, Inks)of the animals as they encounter the different items they excitedly use to make their song. The text, written by Ellen Milne, is the name of each of these items. As the book goes on, it adds the sound that an item makes to an ever growing list. This style of listing sounds is something that my daughter, Charlotte, is very much into at the moment. She's been enjoying Dr. Seuss' Hop on Pop and Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? quite a bit lately. Very young kids that are fans of Disney's Tarzan might also enjoy this book. For the most part, though, any impressions of this book will depend on how you, or your child, feels about repeating noises over and over, because that's basically what you get here. This isn't as tongue-tying as some Dr. Seuss stuff is, but the book is short enough that (if your child enjoys it) you'll be reading and re-reading it in several sittings. 3/5
