Sounds of the Wild: Jungle

　　Jungles are full of fascinating creatures that make the most interesting sounds. This fun book takes children deep within the jungle with colorful pop-ups intricately illustrated by world-renowned artist Maurice Pledger. As they enjoy the pop-ups, ittle ones thrill to an assortment of authentic animal sounds that perk up the ears and encourage mimicking. They hear monkeys screeching, elephants trumpheting, a leopard's rippling growl, the sound of jungle bugs, the okapi scurrying across the forest floor, and much more.

He's had no formal art training, but achieves the realism and detail in his beautiful artwork by spending hours in the field observing, sketching and studying his subjects in their natural environment. First published at age 17, he has since had his illustrations featured on greeting cards, prints, gifts, and books. He has created several successful series, including the Peek-and-Find series, the Nature Trails series, and the Pledger Sticker Books. He was the recipient of the 1992 Francis Williams Illustration Award for the Best Descriptive Illustration. This honor is given only once every 5 years by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
