Jumanji is the picture book that inspired a movie franchise, by the creator of bestselling The Polar Express: Caldecott Medal winning Chris Van Allsburg. When Peter and Judy start to play a mysterious board game, they have no idea they're about to be sucked into a whole new world of adventure and danger, of hungry lions and devastating jungle storms... but the game cannot finish until one of the players reaches The Golden City. Discover the original picture book that inspired Jumanji (1995), the family classic movie starring Robin Williams and Kirsten Dunst, Zathura: A Space Adventure (2005), and later Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017), and Jumanji: the Next Level (2019) starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Kevin Hart, Jack Black and Karen Gillan.

Special edition released to celebrate its 35th year of publication, and to coincide with the new Jumanji movie, starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and Jack Black.
