Charles Fuge has done it again! The celebrated author and illustrator ( I Know a Rhino , Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball , and many others) invites kids on an imaginative journey with a little boy and some friendly animals. The trip's full of rhythm, rhyme, and color-perfect for reading aloud and gazing at again and again. Every page is bright with different hues, and each almost-musical refrain introduces a different animal, followed by the boy imitating that particular creature. He scurries like the mouse (" skittle, skittle, skuttle "); hurries like the ladybug (" beetle, battle, buttle "); and creeps like the anteater (" prod, snuffle, poke! "). Children will happily chime in, get moving, and start thinking about what other animals do too! A Main Selection of the Children's Book of the Month Club.
I purchased this book for my 2 year old daughter and she loves it. I expected it to have more of a story like the Authors Wombat series (there is only 1 sentence on each page) however the pictures are great and it makes a good bedtime story
Great story!
