From a truck, to a bus, to a plane and eventually to a space rocket, Jack has the most exciting and fascinating journeys where he makes lots of new friends along the way.

A beautifully written story for young children. My Granddaughter loved it! Thank you Granny Jean. I hope you will write more.
by Dorothy Micklethwaite
An excellent story designed to stimulate young minds. Would make a lovely Christmas Gift for any young person since it is written and illustrated with humour and insight.
I thoroughly enjoyed the way the author has delved into young thought processes and woven this story.

WOW what a fabulous, exciting story, one that my 7 year old daughter (Layla) thoroughly enjoyed reading at bedtime..... so much so she has now read it 5 times in just over 1 week - says it all really! A wonderful little gift for any child's birthday or Christmas box. Well done Granny Jean, Layla and I are looking forward to going on another adventure with you soon "fingers crossed".

I got thisbook for my 4 year old neighbour. He loved it. A perfect bed time story book. Just the right length and interesting to keep children absorbed
by Anne Brown
This is a lovely book. The sense of adventure and anticipation keeps the interest all the way through. We both read it twice before we posted it our grandson. He now has the book and loves it, it has helped him to be more confident in his reading too so he is sharing it with his little sister.
He wonders whether Granny Jean will be writing another one?
by Mick
A delightful children's' story book with colourful illustrations. Granny Jean understands the mind and imagination of children so well. We are left wondering where Jack's dream will take him next. Looking forward to Jack's next adventure.
