Favorite Preschool Book - Jamberry

What Makes it a Favorite?

Rhythm
Jamberry is a wonderfully exciting preschool book. The pictures are lively and imaginative, and the words are so rhythmic, you'll be singing them long after you've put the book down.

Imagination
If you’re ready to fly off into a berry land, you need to read this book! Filled with excellent imagination, Jamberry will take you dancing in meadows with strawberry ponies, and riding on berry-filled trains! You’ll see elephants skating on raspberry jam and rockets of berries will go shooting by!

Illustrations
You know you have a master-artist at hand when the pictures tell the story just as well as the wonderful words. The illustrations come to life on the page, where there aren't any words at all. Instead, the reader is faced with a wonderful scene of the boy and the bear, in their Canoe-Berry, soaring down a waterfall.

Learn your berries
This book is full of blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and— moon berries…? SO much fun can be had in this book full of berry-fun adventures! Let your preschooler identify some of their favorite berries and learn the differences among our many, delicious berries.

Friendship Lessons
Jamberry portrays such a great model of friendship! As we watch this boy and the bear on their berry-adventures, their friendship shines on the page.

Author's Note
The back page has a personal note from Bruce Degan, which I recommend you read out loud to your preschooler. Begin by telling them that it is a special note from the person who wrote the book. This sweet note might even motivate you to do some berry picking of your own! Author notes also help your preschooler to see that they can write books too! Book authors are simply telling their story. Use this opportunity to invite your preschooler to write a story of their own!
