Summary
The book tells about how Hopsalot loves to hop about, and asks the reader where Hopsalot went. Several locations for Hopsalot's whereabouts are suggested, but it turns out each of the other JumpStart pals is there instead. Then Hopsalot is found digging up carrots to eat.

The digital version of the story that appears in games has 13 pages, but the printable and physical versions of the storybook have two additional pages. The first page has a list of words separated by whether they contain the short letter O sound, short letter I sound, or short letter U sound. The second page has a coloring activity where the reader is asked to color in spaces with words that have a short letter O, I or U sound.
