Jack is a Jack-in-the-box, but not for long! His spring breaks, catapulting him into the unknown. Jack can't find his box and believes he can't jump without it. However, her meets a new friend who shows him that anything is possible if you give it a try.

Jump! is a bright and colorful book, with an entertaining and adventurous story told in rhyme. Brian Allen's illustrations fairly jump off the page and add a special element to the book. The story itself contains a great message about self-belief. As the author states, "If you believe in yourself, you can jump with your eyes wide open."
The story is followed by interesting jumping facts, a scrambled word game (not easy!), and story writing tips.

A great motivational book for kids of all ages.

I received this book in return for an honest review.

Colorful book with a core message of changing your thinking/thinking outside the box. Bouncing, rhythmic text could make this a lot of fun to read out loud to a class. Could be a great introduction to problem solving lessons.
