The Jester Has Lost His Jingle
The King was angry. He didn't want to laugh. When the Jester failed to change the King's mood, he was banished. Quickly, the Jester realized that laughter was gone. So he and Pharley went on a world-wide search to find it. With the help of a young girl, the Jester learns a very important lesson.
Warm colors and great rhyme combine flawlessly in this picture book that gently reminds everyone about the power of positive action/thought.
Absolutely none.
Our daughter has been looking at the pictures in this book for month, discovering the story in her own way. When we sat to read the book together, she had lots of questions and thoughts about what she saw and heard.
This is one of those stories you need to pull out every couple weeks, just to remind you (the adult) to laugh! It is fun to read, and even more fun to share. David Saltzman's story makes the book even more powerful.
This picture book journey reveals the secret of where laughter and joy come from.
The book offers something for pre-readers and independent readers alike: the power of positive thinking; compassion; the importance of laughter; being true to yourself, among others. The story creates a number of ways for bringing the story to life at home or with others in your community.
