Jumpy Jack is a bashful snail who has a great fear of monsters. On their way home, his friend Googily, with fang-toothed and blue skinned, is keen to check out all the places to make sure everything is safe and secure. The joke is that Googily himself is a monster. The lovable characters are amusingly displayed in creamy-colored backgrounds. This cheerful story lets young readers explore and overcome their childish fears through two humorous characters by caring and supporting each other.
