Hot on the heels of Inca-tastic Tales, Helen Pugh brings you: Jungle-tastic Tales, released on 15th November. The book consists of 13 short stories plus 3 chapters on archaeology that take the reader through thousands of years of Amazonian history, from the Ice Age to the present age. Aimed at ages 8 and over, a legendary snake guides you through with wit and cheek. It has a wide variety of themes, such as history, culture, nature, mythology, photography and even football.

It's packed full of facts. For example, did you know...?
- There were once huge cities in the Amazon rainforest.
- The Amazon is home to millions of different species of animals and plants.
- The first city in Peru to get electric street lights was in the Amazon Region.
- A Premier League footballer grew up in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
