"Jumanji is recognised as a picture book classic, deserving of a
place on every child’s bookshelf"
*Lovereading4Kids, Book of the Month November 2017*
"A beautiful simplicity of design, balance, texture, and a subtle
intelligence beyond the call of illustration."
*New York Times*
"A potent vision that lingers on and on"
*Booklist, starred review*
"Illustrated by fabulously realistic drawings of surreal
adventures, pictures that are so infinitely detailed in three
dimensions that they appear to move, breathe, and make sounds."
*Publishers Weekly*
"The illustrations are first class precise draughtsmanship with
extraordinary imagery"
*The School Librarian*
