Students can also attach a matching piece to each page (included and optional). At the end of the story, students answer "wh" comprehension questions using the by matching the correct answer piece to each question page.

Sample Text:
"Deep in the jungle, 'neath a thick canopy...
a jumpy little jaguar was as jumpy as can be.
He jumped under a monkey
and he jumped over a frog.
He jumped beside a boa
who was curled up on a log--"SSSSSSSS!"
He jumped right past a toucan
and he jumped below a sloth.
He jumped next to a parrot
who was perched beneath a moth--"SQUAWK!!"
(You get the idea!)
