Book Description
Jack has been given some special jumping beans by his uncle and told not to eat them. Naturally, he pops them in his mouth almost straight away. Soon he gets a tingling in his legs and then he’s bouncing and jumping all over the town himself, getting into all sorts of trouble . . . The I AM READING series provides just the right balance of challenge and support for newly independent readers. Large, easy-to-read type, satisfying stories by top writers and cheerful full-colour pictures help children make the transition from picture books to chapter books. Each book includes a bookmark flap, tips for beginner readers and either short, numbered chapters or two short stories.

More than I expected

I teach an arts and crafts workshop for ages 4-14. I like to use books to show how the illustrator used pictures to convey the words by the author. The book was great and the art project we did was enjoyed by all the kids.
Fun Story with a subtext for the Differently Abled

Format:Paperback
Jumping Jack
By A.H. Benjamin
(I Am Reading series)
2009, Kingfisher, Macmillan Children's Books
Grades 1-3
Review by Debra Louise Scott
Jumping Jack is a cute story about a boy who eats Mexican Jumping Beans and can't stop jumping. He thinks it's pretty scary while everyone else gets annoyed or laughs at him until Grandma finally comes up with a remedy.
The story is a little scary, but does play into the teachable concept about children who are different or have different abilities than others. The resolution, however, does not show anyone accepting the behavior, except for Grandma. Grandma also shows him how it can be a fun thing to be able to jump so high.
Children that are differently abled often face a lot of rejection and disapproval even when there is a targeted program to educate their friends and teachers. I found it strangely satisfying to see a book that addressed the reality of what a child experiences from others when he can't control his behavior due to an inborn condition.
But I would recommend the book even without the subtle underlying message. Unless you look closely, it's just a fun to read story about a kid that ate Jumping Beans.
