In the Amazonian jungle,

you'll find monkeys, rats and shrews,

pumas, sloths and marmosets.

Which ones would you choose?  

This enchanting picture book by award-winning author Mark Carthew and illustrator Dave Atze, highlights the amazing array of Amazonian jungle creatures through joyous wordplay and evocative illustration. 

A list of the animal names appears at the back of the book and encourages readers both young and old, to see if they can recognise some of the familiar and also lesser known animals.
