Publisher's summary

The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peters and Judy had at home. But they were bored and restless and, looking for something interesting to do, thought they'd give Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives.

Since its original publication, Jumanji has been honored with many awards, including the Caldecott Medal and a National Book Award nomination, and, in 1996, the surreal story was adapted for the big screen, followed by a 2017 sequel.

So short

I remember it being much more thrilling, but maybe I’m mixing it with Zathura? Cast did great, but it feels like a waste of a credit. I wish I would’ve paid attention to the length before purchasing. 😔

Well, road will perform just a short story

Really enjoyed Jumanji! Wish the book would’ve been longer. Cast voices did well. Overall a fine 16 minute audiobook.

Jumanji

This was a first listen for my young nephew. It was short enough for him to understand and to enjoy. His favorite part was the monkeys in the refrigerator.

Classic Story and Excellent Narration

This version brings the story to life. A+ on the multicast reading and fun sound effects. Yes, this is a children's book and is only 15 minutes, but totally worth the credit. My family and I will listen to this one over and over.

Alexa stated it was 7 hours..but it is 16 minutes!

Sad Bank account and Sad kids. Amazon will not refund the purchase even though Alexa claimed the wrong amount of time in the trial recap!!!!!

How short it was! I was expecting an entire book and not a 15 minute story.😡

As noted above. This was a very misleading download. It should have been noted not to be the entire book.

Don’t believe the hype

This book was a cop out . Waste of a credit I was actually expecting this to be a little bit more violent scene is how it is a novel and not the movie

15 minutes!?!

What a waste of my audible credit. This is only 15 min long. Very disappointing. The story is great, but it finishes way too soon!
