A frog jumps. Boing! A kitten jumps. Boi-ing! A dog jumps. Boiyyyyyyoiingg! A grasshopper jumps, a rabbit jumps, then a snail . . . uhm, maybe not. Mother and chick jump together, a fish jumps out of the water, and last comes a little girl to join the fun... I jump too-BOING!

"An interactive element is so important in books for the very young, so children can share and respond to the experience of reading-you can't read Jump! without a lot of chuckles and the urge to leap." Julia Marshall, Publisher
