      Jumping Jack the racehorse and Roger Trotter the jockey were a talented team, winning all manner of show-jumping tournaments. Then disaster struck, and Jumping Jack seemed to lose his skills. A worried Roger took him first to the veterinarian, then to a psychologist, and finally on a seaside vacation for rest, but nothing seemed to help. Then, in the middle of yet another stumble, Roger's eyeglasses slipped off his own face and onto Jack's, resulting in a markedly improved performance. Could it be that this equine champion simply needed corrective eyewear...?Originally published in Switzerland as Dada, Jumping Jack is the fourth picture-book I have read from talented author/illustrator team Germano Zullo and Albertine, and offers an amusing examination of a common childhood experience: namely, needing eyeglasses. It also happens, by sheer coincidence, to be the second European picture-book I have read recently about a racehorse, following upon Marie Dorléans' The Epic Race. I enjoyed Zullo's story here, appreciating the matter-of-factly madcap nature of the adventure being described. I also enjoyed Albertine's colorful, stylized illustrations, which complement the humor of the tale quite nicely. Recommended to fans of Zullo and Albertine, as well as to those looking for new picture-books about needing glasses.

      A quirky story about a race horse in need of a pair of specs. Great illustrations.
