Another of the Hawkins' flip-the-page' books, which device enables the reader to alter the initial letters of the chief character's name (Jen) to make other words featured in the short rhyming text. Cartoon characters both large and small, bubble talk and constant word play: at least this is a book which lifts the normally boring phonic exercises into a fun reading activity.
