If I Were a Jungle Animal

with audio recording

Illustrated by Tom Ellery

About The Book

Morton is bored playing baseball all the way in the outfield, where the ball never, ever comes. But if he were in the jungle instead, he could be a lion or a zebra or a hippopotamus! Yeah, if he were a jungle animal, then things would be exciting. But excitement can be distracting, especially if a ball might be coming right toward him!

This eBook edition of Morton's daydream adventure includes audio.
