The bears from The Teddy Bears' Picnic and There Ain't No Bugs on Me are back in this third book-and-tape from Jerry Garcia, David Grisman, and Bruce Whatley. This time Jenny Jenkins just can't seem to find a thing to wear. Will she wear pink? Blue? Yellow?Orange? Her faithful bear companions offer many suggestions as they travel to the circus in anticipation of Jenny's big performance. Bruce Whatley's bright and cheery illustrations highlight a different color on each page and make this toe-tapping classic folk song come to life.
I have the "Not for Kids Only" CD, which is great anyway, but the illustrations in this book, along with the included cassette tape, might have hit my all-time favorite kids story/song ranking!!! The illustrations are beautiful and silly and will help kids learn to read because of the predictability of the words and the corresponding colors in the illustrations.How could anyone NOT love it?

I've always loved Jerry Garcia's work with the Grateful Dead, but when he teamed up with his longtime friend and bluegrass playing buddy David Grisman, I was more than excited to see the fruits of their efforts. This being one of a few, Jenny Jenkins is a very fun and playful song and children's book combined. Something young children should always be treated to as they grow and develop.
Wonderful book

This book is great, I work at a Day Care and the first time I put the cassette on, my kids just stay very quiet listening. When it was over they asked me over and over to put it again. Now, they even sing the song with me and dance. Even the other caregiver catch themselves singing Jenny Jenkins. The only problem is that I put it some much that the tape recorder at work ate my cassette, and the kids keep asking for Jenny Jenkins, I guess I'll buy another one, maybe a used one.
