Product Description
Photographs by Martha Cooper. Packaged with the only other equipment a child would need--the jump rope--here is a book steeped in the know-how, culture, lore, and trivia of this simple, easy-to-learn, play-anywhere game. The Jump Rope Book is a complete skipper's reference, from how to put your best foot forward to over 250 rhymes. There are jump rope fashions (cushy socks a must), basic jumps and fancy steps (including Scissors, Jumping Jacks, and Cancan), jump rope jargon, how to decorate your rope, and the games--Spoons, Siamese Twins, The Clock, Chase the Fox, Over the Rainbow, Double Dutch, and dozens more. THE JUMP ROPE is 100% cotton, seven feet long, and comes with wooden handles. 50,000 copies in print.
