Summary: "That Grand Master Jumping Teacher, Bernard, Meets Jerome, The Great Jumping Glump" is a fictional story about a young boy who opens his own jumping school. Bernard is a fantastic jumper and seeks to help those who would like to learn how to jump. Jerome, the great jumping glump, is challenged to a jumping contest by Gerald, the conceited kangaroo. Jerome is unable to jump, so he turns to Bernard for help. The two go through several training sessions with very little progress. Bernard is a great teacher and finds a way to prepare Jerome for the contest. Sure enough, Jerome wins the contest, but jumps so high that he is sent off into space, never to be seen again.
Review: While I thought this was a comical story to read, I found it rather silly and very unrealistic. Truthfully, I am not sure how children would react to reading this story. Nevertheless, there is a good story here that goes along with a few illustrations. ( )
