Review
"Rebus books can be entertaining, challenging, and useful for teaching reading, but when written with the delicacy of Banks and illustrated with the warmth of Bogacki, such a book can transcend gimmickry to become something really special . . . a splendid collaboration between artist and writer, with the added fun of a puzzle."--Starred,
Booklist"An aesthetically pleasing introductory study in grammar, jungle life and cooperation."--Starred, Publishers Weekly
