Illustrated by
Melanie Hall.
Some of these thirty-two original rhymes ask jumpers to try tricks like "crossovers" and "hot peppers." Others end with reciting the alphabet so jumpers can discover the initials of their sweethearts. The rhymes are catchy, and the rhythms are strong. Hall's imaginative illustrations give a sophisticated feel to a very usable book.
