Join the jungle fun in this series of delightfully simple and surprising tales for early readers. It's Jumbo the elephant's birthday - and what better way to celebrate than by having a jungle jamboree? All Jumbo has to do is tell the toucan and he'll tell everybody else. But where is the toucan? Jumbo can't find him, and nor can the tiger, the warthog, the hippo ... or anyone else! This lively, repetitive text builds up to a very satisfying twist in the tale, which is guaranteed to tickle even the most reluctant reader. Great fun to read aloud, this funny jungle story is perfect for younger readers developing their confidence.

From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 1-- Bright, cheerful cartoons of 17 animals are the main attraction of this book. The text tells of an elephant who hopes to celebrate his birthday with a "birthday jamboree." He wants the toucan to invite everyone, but cannot find him. Elephant tells tiger to look for him but tiger cannot find him, so he tells warthog to look for him, but warthog cannot find him, and so on through the rest of the animals until the toucan is found and elephant has his birthday party. With the repetition of the animals' names on almost every page, the book is obviously meant to be read aloud. However, there are too many animals to hold interest, and most children will have run out of patience long before the elephant runs out of animals. --Suzanne Wolfe, Shady Side Academy Junior School, Pittsburgh
