Summary
One day, the Preschool Gang decides to visit JumpStart Town. They forget to stick together while exploring the town, and each of them end up a different location. Eleanor visits a bakery and gets a box full of baked goods. Kisha goes to a toy store and picks out a doll. Casey goes to a construction site to watch construction workers build an apartment. Pierre goes to the fire station and watches firefighters put out a fire. As each one leaves, they realize that the group split apart. As Kisha, Casey, and Pierre start looking around, they suddenly hear a sound up in the sky. The sound is coming from a plane that Eleanor is flying. The plane has a banner that tells them to meet her in the park. All of four them quickly head to the JumpStart Park and reunite. Then they have a picnic together with the food Eleanor got at that bakery. After they finish eating, Casey runs off towards a jungle gym, and the others tell him to wait. This time, they make sure to stick together so that none of them get lost.

Trivia

 * The setting for this story appears to be based on the Pre-K Town from JumpStart Pre-K. It shares several locations in common, such as a bakery, toy store, construction site, fire station, and park.
 * Coincidentally, JumpStart Town is also the name of the main setting for the JumpStart 3D Virtual World series.
 * One aspect the story intends to teach is recognition of the colors red, blue, green, and yellow. The characters are depicted with differently colored outfits that do not match their usual attire - Kisha wears green, Casey wears yellow, Pierre wears red, and Eleanor wears blue. However, the cover illustration depicts Eleanor, Kisha, and Pierre in their standard outfits for this time, rather than the outfits seen in the rest of the book.
