Walking Through the Jungle: 1 (Barefoot Singalongs)

My thee year old daughter absolutely loves the Walking Through The Jungle book, and CD that goes with it which we regularly listen to in the car! The nursery she attends started off the obsession with this book as they read it and listen to the CD during circle time. She always sings along, at the top of her voice, and loves 'reading' the book, having memorised all the words to all the pages! I would definitely recommend this book and CD to anyone with a little one who loves animals, rhyming and catchy songs!

Great book!! I love all barefoot books and have been looking at these books for a while! I work in an SEN school so the rhymes and music to go along with these books are great! Even more great is that they come with a DVD with the barefoot books! The video story’s can also be found on YouTube! Love love love these books especially space song rocket ride and portside pirates!

This is the book of the month at my granddaughters nursery . I’m so glad I purchased . I love seeing her bounce along to the music and look at the pictures . Will definitely be purchasing more.

Catchy tune and rythm; a bit jingly but plenty of variety in rythm section, with changes of key too. Plenty of simple repetition and large font size, which is exactly what I was looking for, for a three-and-a-half year old who is beginning to recognise words. Chance to make animal noises too. Theme is: Walking through the jungle/climbing up a mountain, etc, what do I see, what do I see? I think I see a lion/monkey,etc,and he's chasing after me. And finally: Running home for supper.... Lots of fun, potentially participative, and a happy ending. BUT... the song moves on much too fast, with no time to think/talk about the answers, and certainly not enough time to look at words. There's not even time for an adult to turn the pages between sections. Solution 1: Have a pause button ready, but that loses the momentum of the catchy rythms. Solution 2: Make a copy on a blank CD and use audio-editing software (or get a teenage family member involved!) to extract 6 to 8-second sections of appropriate parts of the separate music track on the original CD, and insert them in your new copy where needed. I did this reasonably successfully. It was easy to observe the key changes but not so easy to maintain the rythm for every page. Having gone that far, I added an introduction in Granny's voice too, for good measure. Have fun!

It has a very catchy repetitive phrase. So kids anticipate what’s coming on each page. Also there is a little clue about what animal come next showing a bi of the tail etc. Even better if you know the tune and you both sing it.

Loved this book and great read no cd included

I run a reading club, therefore, am always looking for appropriate books for KS1 pupils. Books that are not part of the curriculum, but follow curriculum topics. This one is perfect, as it is repetitive and refers to animals and their habitats. You can also find additional material directly on the Barefoot Book website and there is a beautiful animation of the book on youtube, as well as song to sing. The children always love this one, as we 'act' out the book, after reading it together.

Great book and CD. Catchy rhyme nd bold, colourful illustrations to engage children. A big hit with the three to four year old children in our nursery.

Good book

ＣＤに楽しい歌が入っています。やまびこ形式の歌なのでリズムの良さも手伝って初めて英語に触れる子供でもついつい歌いたくなります。それぞれのページにたくさんの動物がいるので英語の単語をたくさん学習できます。また動物の鳴き声も書かれているので英語の指導者の方で動物の泣き方を知りたい方はなるほどーと思おうかもしれませんね。

Lo adoriamo! La prima volta è arrivato senza cd, ma i servizi resi e il call center di Amazon sono efficientissimi e ho ricevuto in pochi giorni un nuovo libro con cd. Belle le illustrazioni, curato il testo, ben fatto il cd che ha sia la traccia con il vocale sia quella solo strumentale per cantarci sopra!

This book is absolutely fantastic!. I heard this song at the YouTube, my colleagues often sing this song at the story time. When I sang this song, children enjoyed it, they always requested me to sing. This book for 3-7 years, but I often sing for toddlers.

El libro es ideal para niños pequeños aprendiendo inglés: tiene una estructura repetitiva, utiliza un lenguaje sencillo y las imágenes ayudan a comprender el significado del texto. Además es muy visual y está acompañado de un CD que ayudará a la lectura, además de hacerla mucho más atractiva. Sin duda, lo recomendaría.
