Story Time Graphic: THE GIANT OF JUM

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.

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.
