Images are bright and colourful. Trampoline boy is always jumping. When Peaches wants to join him, she gets to see his perspective on the joy and view he gets from jumping.

This is a beautifully illustrated, strange little picture book about points of view, and sharing points of view. The boy, the trampoline boy, just wants to jump up into the sky, away from the all the haters that want to hate, until Peaches joins him, in his jumps.
Nice book, but hopefully kids know they aren't going to jump quite that high.
But good to show there are other ways to look at things.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

This book seems like it might be a bit large for the library, so I am a bit on the fence. BUT the oversize books are popular, so I am leaning towards thinking it would be a nice addition.
It is a bit psychedelic, very colorful, a little scary, with slightly odd looking children. I don't know that I would buy it as a gift book, unless the child likes jumping on the trampoline.

Firs this is not an interesting book. A story about a boy who just bounce on a trampoline and at the end a girl ask him to bounce with him...!!??!! I will also add an editorial part to this one. To parent: Stop thinking trampoline is a great activity. You don't learn any motor skill or social skill bouncing around forever like an idiot, and you can seriously hurt you back, it won,t appear right away, but 5-10-15 years from now kids will have serious back injury to dealt with. I see kids in my neighborhood that can easily spend 5-6 hours a day (during summer) on that stupid trampoline this is sad and discouraging....

Received as part of Librarything's early review program:
This book features 5+ star illustrations but only a 3 star story, at best. But OH the illustrations!!!! Well worth it, particularly if you are the type to make up your own story when "reading aloud" to your small person.

The story was rather sweet, and the illustrations darling. There was not as much character development as I would have expected, however.

This could be a fun time at Story Time. I could see the movement every time we singsonged Boing…. This is a simple story of a boy who loves to bounce on a trampoline. From his bounce he can see things no one else can, until the day, a girl asks to see what he sees. This is a fun book, I enjoyed reading it, and I will enjoy sharing it.
