Short Stories For Kids #2 – The Land Of JackoWhisp

Jimba Jackobean, the noisy Jack-o-Whisper I told you about in Short Stories For Kids #1 lives in a faraway land called JackoWhisp.

Here’s a map of JackoWhisp:

All the characters in my stories and the adventures they have, take place in the Land of JackoWhisp.

Look carefully at the map and use your imagination to guess:

  1. Who might live under Bangerring Mountain?
  2. What things might your family do if you all spent the day having a picnic at Peppermint Point?
  3. How do you think Peppermint Point got its name?
  4. What is unusual about the houses in Snuggle Snitter Green?
  5. Which house do you like most in the Village? Why?

If you have a printer it might help to print out the map and make it as big as you can before you answer the questions.

Short Stories For Kids #1 – Meet Jimba Jackobean

Who is Jimba Jackobean?

Jimba Jackobean is the main character in the first book of the Jack-o-Whisp series, ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer-Bangerrings’. Jack-o-Whispers are quiet, peaceful folk who live in Jack-o-Whisp Village, close to Bangerring Mountain.

Jimba is different from other Jack-o-Whisper because he is NOISY! He can’t help being noisy, it’s just the way he is. He isn’t naughty or anything, in fact he tries to be very helpful, like when he tried to help Mr Jitter-Jump at the town meeting. You can read all about what happened at that very important meeting in the book ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Bouncer-Bangerrings.’

Jimba lives with his parents and sister, Jessica. He goes to Jack-o-Whisp school and is in the fourth grade. If you haven’t downloaded yours yet, there’s a free colourful poster for you of Jimba on his way to school at www.AlexisTapp.com

Mrs Jickelby is Jimba’s teacher, and you will meet her in this first book, and in the second book, ‘Jimba Jackobean and the Octodillioes’, Mrs Jickelby takes Jimba and the fourth grade students in a bus on a field trip to the beach.

Jessica, Jimba’s sister, thinks he is the noisiest Jack-o-Whisper ever, and she is probably right :) . You will read about her in one of my stories called ‘Jessica Jackobean and the Quillarills’. Jessica plays a musical instrument and one day when Jimba is being his usual noisy self, she gets so annoyed that she goes off to Jindleberry Woodland, to find some  peace and quiet to practice. It is here she meets the Quillarills, who live inside the Billy-Bubble trees and compose music…
