Opis

In the middle of the city, between two tall, new buildings, stands a house that's not so tall and not so new. A lot has changed since the house was built. Once the block was filled with houses just like it, built of brick and stone. But one by one the others have all been replaced by office and apartment buildings of concrete and steel. The streetcar no longer runs past. The horses and carriages that used to carry people up and down the street are gone, too. But the house is still there, lying in shadow, almost hidden. The house belongs to Jacabee-an artist, adventurer, and explorer. He has traveled all over the world and brought many things back to his home. Every room is filled with treasures and artifacts from every corner of the earth. Paintings, drawings, and sketches done by Jacabee himself hang on the walls and fill dozens of sketchbooks. Jacabee isn't home now, but he's left three friends to look after his house. Dooley, Abby, and Baldy love this house as much as Jacabee does. They want to take care of it. The house is a magical place, where it seems as if anything can happen. About Jacabee Jacabee is an online, educational, social media, adventure gaming series for elementary school aged children. The element of history stems from the catalyst for the entire Jacabee project, the work of one of the greatest American artists of the twentieth century, F. Luis Mora (1874-1940). Mora serves as the artistic visionary for the Jacabee concept. He was born in Uruguay and immigrated to the United States as a child and created the Jacabee characters to share Adventure, History, and Values with his grandson.
