Kaye Umansky & Margaret
Chamberlain
Young children are often frightened
by the thought of new experiences
– including their first haircut or
jumping into a swimming pool –
and Jim is no exception. With a lot
of encouragement from everyone
around him, he not only survives
but also enjoys each experience. In
both titles, Kaye Umansky’s
rollicking, rhyming texts are well
matched by the lively humour of
Margaret Chamberlain’s colourful
illustrations, resulting in two very
enjoyable and reassuring stories.
