Readers who will like this book: Unless a child has a real fear of jungle animals in their home, I cant think of a child who will not love this book, especially listening to the audio.
Personal response: Jumanji is a wonderful story that has you sitting on the edge of your seat, waiting for the next players roll. I love the illustrations in this book and having Robin Williams narrate the story was absolutely perfect! I rate the book and audio at a 4.
A question you would ask before reading: What is your favorite boardgame? Why?
