as the jungle sings

The jungle is always a marvelous ocean of emerald, whether it is from Africa, Asia or America. Its flora, all of wild, carnivorous or simply fragrant flowers, is a delight for the eyes and its fauna fills our imagination with encounters with tigers, snakes, rhinos and multicolored birds. And sometimes, in a landscape of a lost city or of humid mangrove, who knows if we don't see Mowgli or Tarzan who remind us of our dream of living in harmony with her. A new volume in our series of poetic landscape-travels at the same time as that on space, after the city, the countryside, the ocean and the mountains. The very modern and spontaneous illustrations take the reader on a discovery or reunion with a different world, but so close and so vital. Text: Laurie Cohen, Illustrations: Marjorie Béal, 48 pages.
