A Caldecott-winning 1981 book written by Chris Van Allsburg.It involves two children named Judy and Peter playing a game about a perilous journey into Darkest Africa, but the game begins bringing its events into their home. Can they finish the game before it turns their home into a literal urban jungle?Made into a film adaption in 1995 (starring Robin Williams as new character Alan Parrish, with Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce portraying Judy and Peter) and an animated series from 1996-1998.

Misplaced Wildlife
 Jumanji / int_17a45ff5
comment
Misplaced Wildlife: Justified. The jungle that the Jumanji world is composed of is not a real-world environment, but a fantastical, magical creation of the game that seems based on a 19th Century, pop-culture, Common Knowledge understanding of the jungle, hence all sorts of misplaced wildlife spring from it. For instance, lions and black rhinos don't live in the jungle.

Riddle for the Ages: Who made Jumanji? What sort of magic did they use? Are the jungle and the city real places (alternate dimension or otherwise) to which the game is merely a portal or a fictional world of the game's creation? We'll never know, and, in-universe, characters who've played the game don't want to know.

Big Bad: Jumanji. All the animals, natural disasters and other stuff that comes out of the game are just parts of it. The board game is ultimately responsible for every bad thing that happens in the story, and it all goes away once the game is finished.

Cassandra Truth: When Peter suggests asking the zookeeper to take the lion out of the parents' bedroom, Judy informs him that the zookeeper probably wouldn't believe their story. Indeed, when Peter later recounts the events of the game to his and Judy's parents, they seem to believe that the children imagined the events.
