Barefoot Books has created an animated version of each book in this series (they come on the CD, but are also online and linked below). Your child can watch these first if that kind of conditioning helps your kids to be more interested in the books (as it does mine). This book takes kids on a walk through the Indian Jungle while also introducing them to many different animals along the way. This book includes many different kids with disabilities and different jungle animals. This was a gift from a friend. Just got around to listening to the cd that came with it and reading the text. Oh so cute! This will be a lot of fun at storytime. This bright, colorful adaptation, set in the jungles of India, is based on the nursery song "Down in the Jungle" (sometimes called "Jungle Boogie"). It is the publisher's bestselling title, and it's easy to see why. Kids just love it.

This lively animation of the children’s book The Animal Boogie by Debbie Harter takes you on a journey with some of the animals living in the jungle. Maybe you have a pet at home you can add to the song.

This book is full of wonderful colored pictures that keeps my daughters attention. She just loves to dance along with music on the sing along CD. The CD features Children's singer Fred Penner. The use of repetition and Onomatopoeic words to describe the movement of the jungle animals make it easy for the children to remember the words and enjoy singing and dancing along to. Love this book and my daughter likes the interaction of singing along and the picture are nice and bright Through the jungle, the children see all different types of animals and are learning their actions, for example a child sees a leopard and learns how to leap. Did you know when you go to sleep all the fruit in the bowl comes to life and has a fun-filled, night long party?

I already know this one by heart. June's first words in the morning are "Jungle Boogie, Mommy! Jungle Boogie!" This means I have to either entertain her by putting on the Jungle Boogie song so we can dance along or sing/read the book to her 3 or 4 times. Or...distract her some other way. It's a great book. I'm glad she loves it. As always, Barefoot has done a great job selecting fabulous art and engaging story for this one! What a fantastic book! I attend a children's group with my 6 month old and the lady there always ends the session by reading this book and my son absolutely loves it! It gets children involved and makes you want to join in. Love it!
