Norma Jean is a kangaroo; sheâs the best jumper ever. But she never stops jumping and sometimes itâs not fun to play with a jumping bean!Norma Jean likes to jump! She jumps out of bed! She jumps into her clothes! She jumps down the stairs, and jumps all the way to school.Unfortunately, she canât seem to sit still long enough to hear the story. She bumps into her friends tower of blocks, and bounces a friend off the teeter-totter.Then her friends donât want to play with her any more, until the class Field Day when they really need her. She is very sad now.Now, they need her to win the hurdles, the high jump and the potato sack race. She is very happy now.
This book has adorable illustrations which make it easy for younger children to follow along the storyline of Norma Jean (a Kangaroo)who learns the hard way that there is a time and place for everything. The easy to read format makes it a good choice for beginning readers. Also, adults will like this story as it is just the right length for a bedtime story.
Perfect self reader. The story line is engaging, young children love it. The images are beautifully done with lots of color and detail. The font is big enough and the story is not too long. Norma Jean is such a lovable character. I love this series of books. Highly recommended.
Norma Jean has been a favorite story in our house for nearly 20years! My daughters loved Norma Jean and took a lot away from the story, my grandson now loves NormaJean. Anytime somebody is jumping around to much we still say "Sit down a few minutes, Norma Jean".
My little sister struggled learning to read and this was one of the first books she proudly read all by herself. My daughter also has struggled to learn to read, so I thought of this book. She loved it! It's an excellent read a loud book. It has a pleasant story with nice normal looking illustrations. I highly recommend to any child learning to read and even to adults (like me) who love to read children's books that lift one's spirits!
Norma Jean, Jumping Bean By: Joanna Cole is a superior book. The story is about how a kangaroo named Norma starts to make her friends upset due to her constant jumping. So, she stops jumping all together. Then one day at school, Norma's teacher says that there will be a field day at school. After that, everyone at school signs up for all of their favorite events, except for Norma. That day, everyone at school now wants Norma to jump again. Will Norma begin to jump again, and will she sign up for field day? I would rate the book 5 stars out of 5 stars. When I read the book, it made me curious of what would happen next, and it never got boring. Even though this book is for younger ages, I still enjoy the book as a 7th grader!
I received this book from my grand kids Christmas 2000. It is such a cute and entertaining book that my daughter suggest I give it as a gift to members of my "Norma Jean Club". Everyone in this club is named Norma Jean and we're all from different parts of Indianapolis, Indiana. I would recommend this book to all ages.
I've been a professional (published many times) children's book illustrator and can tell you this illustrator makes any book she does worth buying. She is fabulous. Check out her other books too.
