(4) K-3 Illustrated by Raquel García Maciá. Nobody appreciates Jenny's penchant for jumping. When her class does a mitzvah project to raise money for Ugandan children, Jenny finds a way to do what she loves while helping others. Though the be-yourself message is stale, Bari's text, peppered with alliteration and rhyme ("your every ounce was made to bounce!"), is playful, while García Maciá's illustrations are appropriately vigorous (if somewhat blurry).
