A Nice Walk in the Jungle


A Nice Walk in the Jungle by Nan Bodsworth

This book takes a look at a class who is going to go on a jungle walk. It begins just fine until one little boy named Tim, spots the Boa Constrictor following the class. Every time he tries to tell his teacher however she does not listen, and each time she finds something new there seems to be fewer and fewer classmates of Tim's around. It's not until she and Tim are the only ones left and he finally gets her attention that she realizes that the children have been swallowed up by the snake. WIth one swift knock of the nose the snake spits them all back out and the class goes on to enjoy lunch. This book is funny for the children to read and lets them use their imaginations. It has great illustrations of all the jungle animals as well.
