Reach for this book when your child is in a high-energy, playful mood and needs an outlet for their budding imagination or a celebration of sensory joy.

The story follows a young boy and a friendly bear as they journey through a fantastical world where everything is made of berries, from trains to fountains. Beyond the whimsical plot, Jamberry is a masterclass in phonological awareness, using infectious rhymes and alliteration to build early literacy skills.
