[Clackamas · Rating 4 out of 5]

While not quite as good as the The Old Woman and the Willy Nilly Man, Jar of Uums is still great when you read it aloud. The story itself isn't as good but it's just so entertaining to listen to if you read it aloud the way it was written that everyone should read it.

A pretty jar that says 'pick me up' also causes people to say too many Uumms...Find out how the old woman tames the jar and Jackie McPhee, the meanest kid around.

Kind of weird but a cute a clever little story.
