This book is a must have! Sure, we all know NOT to play catch with Jelly, but does anyone really know why? Well, Mr. Jack clearly explains this in detail. Along the way, you'll laugh...you'll cry...you may even discover emotions which you never knew you had. At the end of the day, you might still throw lemon merinque...or play catch with mashed potato....but you certainly wont be the person throwing gobs of jelly.
