What is Jumpy Jack & Googily about?

Jumpy Jack is a timid snail who is terribly afraid of monsters. Luckily, his friend Googily is always ready to help with a monster check. Together they search meadows, pools, supper tables and bedrooms for anything scary. But as Jumpy Jack describes the monster he fears, his words begin to sound rather like Googily himself. With gentle reassurance, witty misunderstandings and playful illustrations, this charming story explores childhood fears, imagination and the comforting strength of friendship.
