The Giant Jumperee

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. A strange creature is holed up in Rabbit's burrow, scaring animals away with fierce rhyming threats (e.g., "I'm the GIANT JUMPEREE and I'll squash you like a flea"). Mama Frog finally orders the Giant Jumperee to come out, revealing her own mischievous child. Oxenbury's expertly rendered illustrations, with their spot-on body language and facial expressions, lend an extra layer of comedy to this entertaining tale.
