They get bored of their own toys, and they decide to venture off to the park across the street where they find a board game left under a tree to be taken. They decide to give it a chance, but soon find out that you must follow directions in order for the game to end. They are visited by lions, monkeys, monsoons, and volcanoes. The only way for them to leave is to get out of the jungle on the board and yell, “Jumanji.” Judy lands on the last space, yells Jumanji, and just like that everythig vanishes and their parents arrive shortly after. I believe the book won the Caldecott Award because even though it is in black and white, the pictures really do seem to come to life. For me, they jumped out of the page at you, just as the animals and jungle did from the board game. I liked the use of different points of view for each picture. It gave you multiple perspectives into this book. The shading in the illustrations used were realistic and lifelike. He made the animals look natural in the house, which is not realistic at
