LOONEY LECTURE Author and illustrator of the beloved picture books Jumanji and The Polar Express (both Caldecott Medal winners), Chris Van Allsburg has finally created Zathura. After twenty years of anticipation Zathura picks up where Jumanji left off, challenging players of the same magic board game with black holes and Zyborg pirates. The cards now warn: "Meteor showers, take evasive action."
