Description
A fun read-aloud picture book to spark imaginative play and have preschoolers joining in with delight.
Jack and George are resting quietly when BOOM! A huge and strange ball lands beside them.
Whats that, Jack
I dont know, George. Maybe its a rock
Notoo soft. But it rolls. Fast! Jack, George and the ball roll right off the cliff and now its a parachute. But watch out, theyre going to land in the river
Jack and George have a brilliant day full of adventure with this object that changes with the landscape. But what is it It doesnt matter, it was fun trying to figure it out.
This bright and funny book is a game of twists and turns, with a joyful refrain and vivid artwork to capture every toddlers imagination. With thick, rounded-edge paper and a hardback cover, little hands can easily help turn the pages at storytime.
This book encourages interactive reading by inviting toddlers and preschoolers to join in with the energetic catchphrase, I dont know, George! as call and response on every page.
