The Bird, the Monkey, and the Snake in the Jungle

This book uses full-bleed illustrations to tell the adventure of a bird, a monkey and a snake - they search for a place to live in the jungle after their homes are destroyed by a rainstorm. Every morning the bird sings, the monkey wakes to eat nuts and the snake complains when the falling shells hit on his back. The story enhances with pictures on the outer margin of each right-hand page. It is a story book but it also looks like a game.

I read this book simply because it is one of my reading assignments for my children literature class! But I do love the story and the primitive-style illustrations.
