From Amazon: "Rabbit arrives home one day to hear a loud voice coming from inside his burrow: "I'm the Giant Jumperee and I'm scary as can be!" shouts the stranger. Rabbit's friends Cat, Bear, and Elephant come to help, but they're no match for the mysterious, booming voice. But who is the Giant Jumperee? Find out in this new read-aloud classic from internationally bestselling author Julia Donaldson, beautifully brought to life by award-winning illustrator Helen Oxenbury."
My thoughts: I'm a big fan of Helen Oxenbury's illustrations in We're Going on a Bear Hunt and King Jack and the Dragon, so this one caught my eye right away. As I read it for the first time, my mind went back into librarian-mode and I found myself imagining it as a read-aloud using things like puppets, masks, or a flannelboard. It's not an earth-shattering story and is actually kind of boring on its own, but with props or at least fun voices it would be great as a read-aloud for young kids.
