Jumper goes to school is about an older man named Mr. Botts who cannot see very well. His job is to make sure children are in school and not skipping school because that was bad. However, since he could not see very well, he would take things other than children to the school. One day he took a chimpanzee named Jumper because he was wearing a red sweater even though his owner, Al, tried to tell Mr. Botts that Jumper was a chimpanzee.Mr. Botts did not think animals wore sweaters, so he took Jumper to school where Jumper caused a lot of trouble. Jumper got scared and ran from the children and hid on a shelf. The police came with Al and showed Mr. Botts it was indeed a chimpanzee. Then Mr. Botts went to get glasses.
I like this story because it is funny and has a good lesson at the end. If you cannot see well, get some glasses.
I would use this story in the classroom when the children needed a break from learning. I think it would wake up their brains and allow for a little fun time.
