Story Time Graphic: THE GIANT OF JUM

on


Every Monday here at Read, Discuss, Do! you'll find a graphic like this one that features a discussion and activity idea for a specific book. This week is the Giant of Jum by Elli Woollard, illustrated by Benji Davies, which is both hilarious and heartwarming (and one of Rebecca's absolute favorites). Also...there's cake! What goes better with ice cream (this week's summer challenge them) than cake?

Feel free to save this graphic and/or share it to social media along with pictures or posts of your story time. Be sure to use the hashtag #ReadDiscussDo when sharing.
