VAN ALLSBURG, Chris - Jumanji.

New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1981.. First Edition. [31], [1, blank] p., illustrated throughout in black in white, oblong 25 x 28 cm. HARDCOVER: .(Original green linen-grain cloth over boards with copper-gold lettering on front cover and spine. VERY GOOD / AS NEW with slightly torn dustjacket) ¶ The (un-clipped )original green printed dust jacket has the gold Caldecott Medal affixed to the front panel (Chris Van Allsburg was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1982 for Jumanji). Chris Van Allsburg has created a striking sense of color in his black-and-white illustrations. By setting objects close to the picture plane, he brings the viewer directly into scenes, and by careful placement of other objects, he creates a strong sense of depth and space. These concerns, as well attention to light and shade, characterization, and a variety of shapes and sizes used for composition, make Jumanji a book that once again demonstrates Chris Van Allsburg s artistry. With its surreal story and striking illustrations, Jumanji will intrique and enchant readers of all ages (blurb on rear flap of jacket). Mr. Van Allsburg's illustrations have a beautiful simplicity of design, balance, texture, and a subtle intelligence beyond the call of illustration.
