Jeffrey’s Town — A World of Stories, Discovery and Imagination

Jeffrey’s Town — A World of Stories, Discovery and Imagination

Jeffrey’s Town is an imaginative world created by a young American boy who loves building towns, monuments and places with his magic blocks. Along the way, Jeffrey makes friends with children and people from around the world, and together they embark on adventures that bring history, different cultures and the world around them to life.

From exploring cities and civilizations of the past to imagining the communities of the future, the stories combine colorful characters, inventive places, humor and discovery. Through their adventures, the children learn about friendship, creativity, cooperation, caring for their communities and protecting the Earth.

The Magic Blocks is the first story in a larger series of adventures set in Jeffrey’s Town, opening the door to a world of illustrated books, animation and imaginative learning.
