About This Passage
Mary Pope Osborne lets us inside Jack's heart for one shining moment. The sentence builds with three short repetitions — over the ocean, over the world, over the moon — that get bigger each time. Students will practice copying a sentence that uses repetition to make a feeling grow.
He felt very brave and very powerful. He felt as if he could ride forever on this horse with this mysterious knight over the ocean, over the world, over the moon.

Discussion Questions
- Annie steps toward the knight right away. Jack moves slowly. They both end up on the horse. Why does it take Jack longer? What in the story makes you think so?
- Jack and Annie bow to the knight and say 'Thank you' before he rides away. They had not been told to bow. Why did they choose to do it? What does it show about how they felt?
