Jambo, the Joyful Giraffe

Meet Jambo, the joyful giraffe who turns a lonely moment into a brand-new adventure. This hands-on Build-a-Book experience combines storytelling, bricks and playful learning to help children listen, build, speak, retell and imagine. Children do not just sit and listen to the story. They build the scenes as they read. Perfect for early years classrooms, preschool, kindergarten, libraries, therapy sessions and home learning, Jambo, the Joyful Giraffe helps children develop early literacy skills through joyful, screen-free play. What’s the Story About? Jambo wants to join the Monkey Club, but she is told she does not belong. Instead of staying sad, Jambo uses her joyful imagination to create her own games across the savannah. She gallops around termite mounds, splashes in the waterhole and rolls down grassy hills. Soon, the other animals realise that Jambo’s games are much more fun because they are welcoming, creative and shared. By the end of the story, the animals learn a gentle but powerful lesson: games are more fun when everyone is included. How It Works Read a page. Build the scene. Talk about what happened.
