I read this as part of my personal challenge to find a 5 star book from every year I’ve been alive, this one being for 2002 (even though I knew I wasn’t going to rate it because it’s a picture book, but the movie adaptation was one of my favorites growing up so I had to read this!) 

I actually think I liked this more than Jumanji! It was fun to experience the source material of one of my favorite childhood movies.
