Reviews

On the twentieth anniversary of Jumanji, Van Allsburg picks up right where his Caldecott Medal book left off, with similarly terrifying adventure set this time in outer space. -- Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

"Van Allsburg illustrates the surreal events in a grainy charcoal-black that seems to shimmer on a rough, cream-colored ground...Zathura, like Jumanji, is a satisfying enigma." -- Publishers Weekly

"Van Allsburg is a terrific illustrator, and his images here, including one where the boys open their front door and are greeted with a breathtaking views of the cosmos, are memorable." -- New York Times Book Review

"The angles of view, are, as always, wonderfully dramatic..." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The shadowy black-and-white tones of Van Allsburg's illustration recall 1950's science-fiction films..." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"One can't help but anticipating the encore." -- School Library Journal
