Description - The Lost Treasure of the Jungle Temple by Dereen Taylor

Peek inside the 3D windows! Peer through forest foliage, a gushing waterfall and the different levels of a crumbling temple as Paola, Manny, Mr Stone and Annie search for Amazonian gold! This title includes three-dimensional layered pages that enable youngsters to explore all the charming illustrations. Features: special finish on the cover and the conclusion of the story enhances children's enjoyment and excitement; and a book for 3- to 7-year-olds to treasure. Deep within the Amazon Rainforest live Paola, her little brother Manny, their parents and their old grandmother, Reina - not forgetting their macaw Falco, a feathered friend with a fondness for figs. Paola's village is very poor, and outsiders are encouraging the inhabitants to sell their homes. Luckily, Paola has a plan: she and Manny will go in search of the lost treasure of Cristobal! However, they get more than they bargained for. An archaeologist called Simon Stone and his young daughter Annie are also hunting for relics - with their pet monkey Mo-Mo. Together they face dangers such as a snarling alligator, temple traps, falling floors and venomous vipers.
Will they survive to crack the secret Cristobal code and locate the legendary cache of gold...? Young readers will be enthralled by this gripping tale, and the detailed pop-up illustrations will take them right into the heart of the adventure.
