For Grown-Ups

Papa Puddle Jump is a real grandpa reading stories he wrote for his own grandkids. These books are made to be shared on a lap, at bedtime or in a classroom, and every one comes with free activities to keep the story going.

Papa's Monthly Letter

One email a month: the new story, the new printable pack and a peek at the next book. No spam, and you can unsubscribe any time.

Getting the Most Out of Story Time

Read It Twice

Little ones love repeats. The second time through, pause before the rhyme and let them shout the word.

Hunt Together

Every page hides a golden feather and a little treasure. Pointing and counting builds early math and focus.

Talk Time

Each book ends with easy questions: what happened, how someone felt, and what your child would do.

Make Something

Every pack has a grown-up-and-me activity with a full materials list and a picture for every step.

Teachers and Librarians

The printables are free for classroom use. Print as many as you need. A one-page teacher kit for each book is on the way.

Keeping Kids Safe

We never ask children for names, photos or emails. Sign-ups are for grown-ups only. Read our privacy page.
