Description :
Hey Jack! is all about down-to-earth, real-life stories that boys can enjoy and relate to without anything girly getting in the way. And Jacks ginormous imagination injects the series with fun and humour. Each book is divided into manageable chapters, and the text is carefully balanced with word art and illustrations to provide reading breaks and is careful to avoid super tricky words that could intimidate the early reader.
