The Zabajaba Jungle

(2) K-3 In Roland, Steig's first book for children, a medieval wandering-minstrel pig almost gets roasted by a fox. Zabajaba is a present-tense tale of a boy's exploration of a fantastical jungle. In Toy Brother, Charles's big brother Yorick shrinks himself in their father's lab. Steig's cartoonish illustrations and jolly texts make it clear that though these stories involve danger, they're each set in a playful world. Review covers these titles: Roland the Minstrel Pig, The Toy Brother, and The Zabajaba Jungle.
