From Ed's to Ned's

What starts with just two kids quickly escalates into a rhyming, rollicking romp through the neighborhood, where all the kids are invited!

Climb to Cal's
Whirl to Will's
Trampoline from Ted's to Jill's!

Two sisters venture out of their house and pick up Cal, then all three head to Will's. Four become eight and then eight become twelve, and before you know it, there are twenty-two!

Never touching the ground, the kids have no shortage of ways to get to their pal's place when there is a mission at hand! Trampolines and slides. Propellers and parachutes. Diving boards and swinging vines. Find your favorite mode and join the friends on the adventurous trip!
