(4) K-3 Young girl Nina visits a secret jungle that has engulfed a forgotten city, where she reads to the animals. The jungle creatures have wide-ranging tastes in stories, but they collectively prefer--in a meta touch--"this one...Nina calls it 'Animal City.'" Negrescolor's narrative won't grip young readers the way Nina's stories grip the animals, but the digital art powered by tropical colors will.
