Closet Jungle is such a fun and imaginative read! The story takes something totally ordinary—a closet—and turns it into a mysterious, exciting jungle full of surprises. It really makes you think about how adventure can exist anywhere if you use your imagination.

The Closet Jungle was a wonderful book for my second grader. The descriptive language created a wonderful imaginative picture with a good message for all kids. We are looking forward to other books from the author!
