The Details
Mean Jean rules the playground—until fearless new kid Katie Sue does something nobody expects and asks her to jump rope. Alexis O’Neill’s lively, rhyming story turns a familiar conflict into a funny, hopeful look at friendship and kindness.
Laura Huliska-Beith’s energetic illustrations make this 32-page hardcover a natural read-aloud for home or classroom. It is especially good for starting a conversation about playground dynamics without turning story time into a lecture.
Shipping the Whimzy Way
We pack every Whimzy order with care from our Lakeville toy shop and work to get it on its way as quickly as possible. Shipping times can vary based on carrier speed, order volume, weather, and holiday busy-ness — because even packages occasionally hit a traffic jam. For full details, please visit our Shipping Information page.
