Jumanji

Chris Van Allsburg's Caldecott-winning picture book, Jumanji, tells the story of Peter and Judy, two children who are left home alone and stumble upon an enchanted board game. Each roll of the dice brings the jungle to life, from lions and monkeys to monsoons and volcanoes, right inside their living room. This classic tale explores themes of imagination, consequence, and bravery as the siblings must complete the game to restore their home to normal. It's a thrilling read-aloud for ages 3-7, known for its distinctive, atmospheric illustrations.

Left on their own for an afternoon, two bored and restless children find more excitement than they bargained for in a mysterious and mystical jungle adventure board game.
