Description
Preschoolers love baby animals, and they love to move. Celebrate both with this Toddler Tough board book, perfect for an active read-aloud!
Fawns leap, / Hatchlings bounce, / Porcupettes nibble, / Kittens pounce.
Storytime is on the move with this multilayered concept book. Preschoolers will enjoy learning fun baby animal names from baboon "infants" to kangaroo "joeys," and they'll revel in using their bodies to mimic the movements each animal makes. Bright photographs give a close-up look at every kitten, nestling, and foal, as well as young children who are pouncing, flapping, and racing alongside them.
The rhyming text teaches young minds pattern recognition for language learning and reading readiness, and a closing spread of enriching, age-appropriate activities keeps the learning going.
A lively addition to the Big, Little Concepts series by author and children's librarian Jane Whittingham, Animals Move will have everybody wiggling and giggling through story time.
"This book works in all the ways books for littles should work: engaging subject, pleasing presentation, gentle introduction of new vocabulary, lack of stereotyping, and strong construction for repeated reading and handling. There is a note to adults in the back offering several extension activities to get kids thinking and moving." - Youth Services Book Review Starred Review

About the Author
Jane Whittingham is a librarian from Burnaby, British Columbia, and earned her Masters of Library and Information Sciences at UBC with an emphasis on children's librarianship and literature. Much like the adventurous main characters in her fiction picture books, Wild One, A Good Day for Ducks, and Queenie Quail Can’t Keep Up, Jane loves to explore. And much like the children photographed in her nonfiction picture book Animals Move, she loves a lively story time!
