Hey, let's play a game! I bet I can say the color on the next page before you. I need to hear you, so say it loud. Ready? . . . Green! . . . JINX! What can you say about this storybook character? He's a talker and a trickster! From the very beginning, he challenges the reader to a game, resulting in a . . . JINX! Until that jinx is lifted, the reader is now forbidden to talk! The character has played this game before it seems, as he knows that even the smallest sound from the reader will make him the winner of the game. As experienced as he is at the rules of jinx, he tries every which way to get the reader to speak, even betting that he could do so! He offers the reader slurping slugs and chewy worms to eat and tries to scare the reader with spiders crawling behind them, anything to get a reaction! He even tries telling jokes, but nothing seems to be working! Can the reader withstand the barrage of tricks to win the game and be released from the jinx? Or is this book simply too funny and surprising to hold in screams and giggles? Will the character prevail and be "YOUR RULER FOR EVERMORE"?
