We've had so much fun with our jungle theme.  We have made several visits to the library and our favorite books are:

The Seals on the Bus by Hort--A funny take on the song The Wheels on the Bus.  It ends with skunks on the bus and all the people on the bus saying HELP HELP HELP!!  Jaylyn runs around the house screaming, 'There are skunks on the bus!  Help me!!!"  And Jaxon laughs hysterically every time. 

Cha-Cha Chimps by Durango--In this book the little chimps sneak out for a night of dancing and meet lots of animals doing all kinds of dancing.  Then........EEE EEE OOOHH OOOHH AH AH AH the chimps do the Cha Cha Cha.  Jaxon LOVES this book!

Chameleon's Colors by Tashiro--Chameleon is always being overlooked by the other animals because they never see him.  The other animals are envious of his ability to change colors, so chameleon offers to paint the animals. 

To continue our theme, Justin and I planned an animal safari for Jaylyn.  We gathered up all the stuffed animals and hid them throughout the house one night after Jaylyn was in bed.  Then I printed off a picture of each type animal that Jaylyn should look for during her safari.  When she woke up, I told her about her safari adventure.  She dressed in a hat and grabbed her binoculars.  I gave her the safari list and off she went to search the house.  After finding the animals, she rehid them (in all the same places....) and went and found them again.  The second safari was MUCH shorter than the first.  Ever since our little safari, Jaylyn has referred to herself as the "Animal Girl" and she pretends to find animals everywhere.  Then she changed her name to "Cinderella Animal Girl Baby."  Her names keep getting longer and more complicated.  It makes my brain hurt!!!
