Librarianjk recommends Jumanji



Jumanji by Chris Van Allsburg

Summary: Two children become bored when their parents go out. They go to the park and find a board game. They begin to play, and soon they are in over their heads as jungle creatures enter their house!

This book has a wordless middle. A great way to stimulate creativity in children of all ages is to ask them to create a story about what is happening at these points. In fact, that is pretty much what the movie is! The sequel Zathura is also enjoyable and an activity in comparison would be appropriate after reading the two books.
