Jumbies Review and GIVEAWAY

Product to Review: Jumbies

Product Information: The Story of Jumbies
There were more babies being born than ever before. The storks had to deliver them from shore to shore. There were baby elephants, bears, dogs, and cats. They had tigers, skunks and even baby bats!
You could also find raccoons, deer, mice and whales. There were camels, sharks and dinosaurs with long tails. There were koalas, kangaroos and chimpanzees. The storks had all kinds of fish and even bumblebees! They had to deliver them in the north, south, east and west.

There was so much to do they had little time for rest. They flew to America, Europe, Antarctica and down under. They went to Africa and Asia trying not to blunder. There was not a place on earth where the storks did not fly. Everywhere in the world the storks filled up the sky. They had to move real fast for there was no time to be slow.

It began to get very confusing on where they had to go. Some storks turned left when they should have turned right. Some storks flew all day when they should have flown at night. Other storks flew east when they should have gone west. Everything went wrong even though they were trying their best. Then in began to happen in a flash! One by one they started to CRASH!

The storks smashed right into each other. It kept happening one after the other. They crashed in the clouds up in the air. There were stork feathers everywhere! They landed in the water, the trees and in the dirt. It was a miracle that none of the storks were hurt.
Then they quickly went to see if the babies were okay. The babies were fine but the storks did not know what to say. When the storks crashed and tumbled, it appeared all the animal babies were jumbled! The storks could not believe their eyes. These babies were quite a surprise. They still looked very lovable and sweet. But they were very different from their head to their feet.

There were no more zebras or elephants. But they found lots and lots of Zelephants! They looked for giraffes and buffaloes. But the storks only found Giraffaloes! These jumbled babies became a new breed. So they called them JUMBiES the storks agreed.

There were no lions, tigers or bears anywhere around. But they found thousands of these JUMBiES on the ground. Even bugs, birds and fish were not the same. The storks had to take all of the blame. Now since all the babies were a jumbled mix. The storks had a problem that was not easy to fix. It was not clear where these little ones were suppose to go. These babies were jumbled up so the storks did not know. They took the JUMBiES to a place with palm trees and white sand. The storks called this beautiful island JUMBiELAND.

But the JUMBiES still needed homes where they would be cared for. So the storks flew everywhere on earth and knocked on every door. The storks found homes with loving girls and boys. The JUMBiES have given them many new joys.

But there are more JUMBiES that still happen every day. They too need homes that give them love in a special way. The storks continue to find homes for them like yours and mine. The JUMBiES need your special love because they are one of a kind.


My Opinion: We received the 4 Jumbies listed below. I read the Story of the Storks to them and they wanted to "adopt" them right away!

Name: Corky
Breed Mix: Pig & Rabbit
DOJ (Date of Jumble): October 31st, 2008
Location: Whoosh! Farms and Storkenburg
Likes: Mud, carrots, scraps and hopping around town
Dislikes: Pigs, feet and neat freaks
Profile: Corky the Pigbit is a very successful “green” farmer…owner and President of Whoosh! Farms, he is a leading advocate of JUMBiELAND “green initiatives”. As successful as he is, he is a slob! His desk is messy and he is always searching for his bio-car keys. He also loves to roll around, have fun and just cavort around the island. Loves carrot and slop Sundaes – YUCK!
Motto: “This little Pigbit went to market".

Name: Filbert
Breed Mix: Bluebird & Rabbit
DOJ (Date of Jumble): November 4th, 2008
Location: Kississippi Falls
Likes: Talking, talk shows, talk radio, rap music and books on tape.
Dislikes: Libraries (you have to be quiet), criticism (just can’t handle it)
Profile: If you have a secret, please don’t tell Filbert whom finds it impossible to keep anything to himself. Your resident wisecracker, Filbert is prone to exaggeration, insults and self-inflation. Filberts wild imagination and lack of diplomacy often cause problems. With the help of friends, he is usually able to extricate his foot from his mouth. He’s constantly talking and generally oblivious when all his friends tire of the chatter and leave the room.
Motto: “Don’t keep a secret, Blabbit”

Name: BunkerBreed Mix: Dingo & Bat
DOJ (Date of Jumble): April 10th, 2008
Location: Dingbat Caves
Likes: Exploring, cooking, flying (or attempting to), all major holidays
Dislikes: Loud noises, schoolwork, organization.
Profile: Dingbat sleeps upside down like a bat, but is always falling on his head because of his weight and his small wings are disproportionate to his body. His flight is awkward and erratic. He is stubborn so he never gives up even maybe when he should. He is absent minded, clumsy and unorganized. These traits often have him mistaken as not being the smartest character on the island. In fact, these characteristics often get him into trouble too. However, his ability to come up with amazing pearls of wisdom and solutions to problems sometimes dispels that theory. Luckily, he’s kind hearted and very generous so his many friends love him regardless of what they might think about his intellect or little eccentricities. His “love” interest is Belle and Dingoling (Dingo/Starling). Belle is very much like Bunker in appearance, breed and personality. When the two of them are together it becomes a comedy of errors. Since Dingbat is a little bit on the insecure side, he really enjoys and appreciates his many friends.
Motto: “Don’t be a Dingbat!”
Name: Yuri
Breed Mix: Moose & Cow
DOJ (Date of Jumble): August 31st, 2008
Location: Whoosh! Farms! Bear Valley and Coyotah Ridge
Likes: Yapping, yapping and yapping. Moosecow loves to gossip! And working out
Dislikes: Cow Tipping and hunting season
Profile: Yuri is one chatty cathy! Loves to hang out around the water cooler and catch up on the latest buzz around Buzztown and all of JUMBiELAND. Slow and lumbering but very strong. If any big moves or heavy lifting needs to be done – all the JUMBiES know to call Yuri! Best friends with Corky and Bing Bong. Has his own moving company on the side – “Starving Moosecows” whose motto is “It is a MOOOOOVING Experience!”
Motto: “From Moosecow with love!
