For children ages three to six, the fundamental building blocks of learning are the alphabet and numbers. With Jump In!, children will be so drawn into the fantasy adventure the book presents that they will learn to count without being conscious of the learning process.

Along the way, young readers will be joined by a menagerie of furry friends while they are learning how to count.

A child's companions for the magical journey will be the little, curly-haired Miss Lollipop, a tall kangaroo, two mice, a quacking duck, a mooing cow and a tiger with the hiccups.

Not only will children have fun learning to count, but they will have a picnic, visit the zoo and travel to such exotic places as Africa and India.

Ian Whybrow's whimsical yet educational text is accompanied by David Melling's striking,bold, colorful and imaginative illustrations. For a thrilling adventure and a fun exercise in learning how to count, young children can jump in, hang on and have fun!
