Miss Jump the Jockey
Happy Families

Miss Jump the Jockey is a hilarious picture book by Allan Ahlberg,
illustrated by Andre Amstutz. Miss Josie Jump the jockey can’t wait to gallop in a race like her mum,
her brother and even her grandma,
but everyone says she’s too young.

But then grandma’s horse gets a sore throat and Jimmy Jump gets a splinter in his bottom so she might get her chance at last… Allan Ahlberg, a former teacher, postman, plumber’s mate and grave digger,
is in the super-league of children’s writers.
