This is what Jim does. He decides to play all day long. He doesn't want to do any of his daily routines or personal needs. The author beautifully shows the reader how JIm had fun playing with all the animals in the forest. Never does he feel that he should take care of his daily chores like eating or even peeing. As always, Norman reminds Jim that there is a possibility of having too much of a good thing.

At the end of the day, a truckload of things start haunting Jim and unwillingly, he decides to do those required things of life. However, he does understand that some amount of balance should be there in life between fun and mandatory needs!

📚 An important lesson for all - there should be good balance of having fun and taking care of oneself. One should not outpace the other ever!

📚 Expressive illustrations and perfectly relatable text.

📚 Recommended for kids ages 4+
