Tarzan
The Edgar Rice Burroughs books are full of suspense, a perfect bedtime story.The best thing is that many (if not all of them) can be downloaded from from Project Gutenberg.Try reading the first one, Tarzan of the Apes, to your child as a serial bedtime story.They'll be begging to go to bed.

Disney's Tarzan , clear and Precise
This version of Disney's Tarzan is clearly written and has accurate drawings true to the film's content. Rarely do you find a smaler version of the big books so well presented.

Smaller successor to the Disney Classic series
Disney Mouseworks seems to be moving to smaller books and it looks like the end of the line of the Disney Classics series.The new Read-Aloud Storybooks are shorter (by about 20 pages) and smaller (by an inch here andthere). That's too bad for those of us who have been collecting the oldseries.The paper is nicer and the artwork is very good, though, so it'snot a total loss. ... Read more

How To Draw...
I have 5 volumes of the HOW TO DRAW series and I think this is one of the best because it shows a variety of different characters, ape, man, woman, panther... of course, there would be more to learn about Tarzan and how to draw the animals and maybe even some items like the treehouse or similar, but you can't have everything. It's a good reference book if you want to try your hand at drawing. Beginners will find it a challenge to "copy" a given picture following the step by step instructions. Artists with some experience will find the hints and a glance at the techniques used helpful.

Smaller format?
Hmm. It seems that they've lopped-off a couple of inches from the height and width of the new "How to Draw" titles. It's still a good book with detailed drawing tips. Not for the absolute beginner though. A buddingartist should look into some of the earlier Walter Foster drawing/animationbooks. ... Read more

super
this flip book is so dynamic. it was very helpful in showing my students examples of FBs.

Excellent little flip book!
A beautiful book for anyone who loved the movie's dynamic animation sequences.It has two sides both showing Tarzan gracefully flying through the trees using actual cells from the movie.It's really neat to flipthrough. It's like having part of the movie to take home. ... Read more

A wonderful book for mother's to share
I paged through this board book when my daughter was only weeks old. I had to buy another copy by the time she turned a year old. We had read it so many times, it had been chewed and spilt on, was just about dead. I ended up buying a new one and she still has it at age 3. I think this is an excellent book for mothers to read to their daughters and sons. The pictures are large and bright and the poem is adorable. Being a single mom, I try to find books dealing with it at her age, and I thought this was a perfect one due to it's simplicity. I reccommend this to any mother. I have even bought a few extra for fellow mother friends. It is just a wonderful book!

sweet and sentimental

My two year old and I both enjoyed this book!
My two year old son loves books.His favorite movie is Disney's Tarzan so this was a perfect choice for him. The book has beautiful pictures and is easy to read to a young child. It is also a wonderful tale for all ages, Ihave to admit I almost cried at the end! ... Read more

Jungle Jam is as Good as Jam on Toast for your Two-Year Old
She or he will really like this book. And let's face it, you can't get your two year old started in on books soon enough. As our little gorilla click-click-clickety clacks on his typewriter your child will learn a few words, like bell, paper, water and typewriter. Yes, I know everybody uses a computer these days, but your laptop doesn't go clickety clack, now does it?

good
We love this book! It has Disney-ish cartoons and a simple story you can play along with. By the end of the book the gang is engaged in a jungle jam of sounds using household items. ... Read more

Drawing for the unartistic
I have maximum enthusiasm and minimal artistic abilities.I stripped a small wooden dresser and began repainting it for the nursery.Using this book, a pencil with a good eraser, and a lot of sunlight and patience, I created a remarkable young Tarzan and his ape mom!I was so impressed with myself, I sat back and stared at it for a long time.I've been drawing misfigured and misproportioned Disney characters for my neices and nephews for a long time.Finally, with the help of this book, I was able to make some characters that would be instantly recognizable by anyone, even if they're not entirely forgiving tiny tots!

Lots and lots
You get a lot with this book. The book includes all the main characters:Tarzan- adult, Tarzan- baby, Tarzan - 5 year old, Kala, Kerchek, Terk, Tantor,Professor Porter, Jane, and Clayton as well as fauna and flora : butterfly; lovebirds; vines; bamboo etc.The characters are a little harder to draw than other the classic Disney characters.Its not fault of the book, since the characters in Tarzan are much more detailed and complex.The book is full of tips to helpease the difficulty - how to draw the eyes correctly; placement of eyebrows; placement and shape of wrinkle around the nose; etc. The book includes lots color pictures of Tarzan and his friends so a big Disney Tarzan fan won't be disappointed.Although I haven't seen the smaller size version, I would highly recommend this oversize book.I would think the detailing required for these characters would be harder to draw and master from a smaller image. ...
