'If there's an adventure to be had, Jack will be there!
'From the Australian Children’s Laureate Sally Rippin comes this fantastic and beloved first chapter-book series. Every story follows Jack, a friendly, everyday kid who loves playing with his best friend, Billie. Created to help build emotional literacy, every book in the Hey Jack! series explores a particular emotion – such as worry, happiness, excitement or disappointment – in a relatable way for young readers. Whether it’s about friends, family or feelings, there’s no challenge Jack can’t figure out!
'With more than 10 million books in print around the world, best-selling author Sally Rippin has helped a generation of readers love learning to read. Every Hey Jack! book is carefully designed with short chapters, decodable vocabulary and lots of illustrations, and there are no mountains of text or super-tricky words to intimidate the early reader. And there’s plenty of stories in the series to explore!' (Publication summary)
