In this delightful graphic novel for little ones, translated from the original French, Chipper, a puppy, and Squizzo, a squirrel, take off on their cardboard airplane to visit jungles in South America, Africa, and Asia. Chipper and Squizzo's bits are presented in limited color and detail in cute cartoon panels, which float on top of lush, vibrant, and realistic full-color illustrations of the jungles and their inhabitants. Chipper and Squizzo react to the painterly jungle scenes, and their running commentary genially introduces some animal facts. Readers will learn about tarantulas, sloths, toucans, piranhas, elephants, panthers, howler monkeys, anteaters, and many more jungle creatures. After the adventure is over, there's a three-page recap with more information about jungle animals, focusing especially on the endangered tiger and what even young kids can do to help. This informative volume's inviting format is especially well-suited to young readers. Hand to kids who like Jon Chad's Leo Geo series, or for those not quite old enough for Jim Ottaviani and Maris Wicks' Primates (2013).
Chipper and Squizzo are a precocious puppy and squirrel who love to explore new and exciting environments, flying their cardboard box airplane to wondrous worlds full of fascinating animals and creatures. In each volume of this fun, educational series, they tour a different location, encountering the real-world animals found there in beautiful illustration and fun cartoon strip antics. This second volume takes them around the world, to the jungles of South America, Africa, and Asia, where they encounter tigers, elephants, snakes, and sloths! A fun, lusciously illustrated series of wildlife discovery books for children of all ages.
