Jackanory Junior

About the show

Aimed at four to six-year-olds, Jackanory Junior draws young children right into the heart of stories from some of the best modern authors. From Geraldine McCaughrean’s re-telling of Gulliver’s Travels to Jeremy Strong’s wacky story of a pirate school, children are transpor ted into magical make-believe worlds where anything can, and often does, happen. Beautiful animation brings the books’ illustrations to life while the stories are told by some of the best and most endearing British acting talent including Martin Clunes funnyman Kris Marshall and the Oscar-nominated Sophie Okonedo.
