This extraordinary new title from acclaimed illustrator Maurice Pledger features five adorable 3-D pop-up scenes enhanced with real sounds that let young adventurers see and hear the creatures that live in the depths of the jungle. Maurice Pledger’s stunning artwork is brought to life with authentic animal sounds and adorable pop-ups. Noisy Nature: In the Jungle delights children for hours on end with pop-up panoramas that include a giant elephant using his trunk to blow a trumpeting sound, a chatty parrot letting out a noisy squawk, a hairy orangutan swinging high in the trees and calling out ooh-ooh, a hungry frog diving into the pond and croaking, and a sneaky tiger growling at her prey!
