Jackson loved jellybeans. He loved them jiggly, he loved them jiggling, he even loved them jumbo-sized and jungle-green!
Can you wiggle your arms like jiggly, jiggling jellybeans?
One day, while munching on a mountain of his favorite green jellybeans, Jackson stumbled upon a peculiar sight. There, nestled amongst the sugary treats, was a tiny door, barely bigger than a jellybean itself!
Let's pretend to open a tiny, tiny door!
Curiosity bubbled inside him like a fizzy soda. He just HAD to see what was on the other side! Taking a deep breath, Jackson shrunk himself down, small as an ant, and tiptoed through the miniature doorway.
Tiptoe with me to the other side of the door!
Suddenly, the world exploded in a cacophony of colors! Trees taller than skyscrapers, with leaves like shimmering emeralds, stretched up towards the cotton candy clouds. This was no ordinary place; this was the Jingly Jungle!
Wow, look around! Can you stretch your arms up high like those tall, tall trees?
Wacky creatures, unlike anything Jackson had ever seen before, bounced and bopped through the leafy undergrowth. There was a Giggle Giraffe with a neck like a rainbow, a Pom-Pom Panda juggling fluffy fruit, and a Sneezing Snake whose every sneeze sent shimmers of sunlight scattering through the air!
Let's giggle like the Giggle Giraffe! Hee, hee, hee!
"Welcome, welcome to the Jingly Jungle!" boomed a voice as warm and rumbling as thunder. Jackson spun around to find a grinning gorilla, wearing a crown of twinkling fireflies.
Let's all say hello to the friendly gorilla!
"I am Gary the Great, Guardian of the Groove!" the gorilla announced, striking a pose. "And you, my friend, must be Jackson!"
Can you make a cool pose like Gary the Great?
Jackson, still amazed by everything he saw, managed a small nod. "How did you know my name?" he finally squeaked.
Let's whisper a question to Gary the Great, just like Jackson!
Gary chuckled, his laugh a deep, rolling rumble. "Oh, we know many things in the Jingly Jungle! We knew you loved adventure, and jellybeans, of course. Why, that's the only way to enter our wonderful world!"
Can you whisper the word 'adventure' and then shout the word 'JELLYBEANS'?
Jackson spent the rest of the day swinging on vines with the Zinging Monkeys, playing hide-and-seek with the Camouflaged Chameleons, and even learned how to speak Squirrel from a group of chatty, nut-loving friends.
Let's pretend to swing on a vine like Jackson!
As the sky turned shades of mango and papaya, signaling the end of the day in the Jingly Jungle, Jackson knew it was time to go. He had a mountain of stories to tell and a whole lot less jellybeans in his jar.
Let's wave goodbye to Jackson's new friends!
With a grateful heart and a tickle of jungle magic, Jackson found himself back in his own room, surrounded by a suspiciously smaller pile of jellybeans. He smiled, a secret tucked inside his heart, a secret only a trip through a tiny door could bring.
Let's smile a big smile because we have a happy secret too!
