Bright colorful book with lots of animals. This book uses photos to show the movement of the various animals. Children can pretend to be these animals and copy the movements of these animals. Nice rhyming text that will keep children engaged. Great book for storytime.

This picture book, filled with real photos of animals and children contains simple text, just one noun and one verb per page, but teaches about animals and how they interact with the world around them. Additionally it helps children make connections or ideas that are similar between all living things, including themselves. I think this book would be perfect for young children or English language learners because the real pictures are so important when learning language. I would recommend this book for children ages 2-6. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

A very adorable non-fiction text about animal movement! The photography combinations of kids and baby animals doing the movement on each page will definitely catch the eye of children who are reading it. Additionally, the vocabulary in the book is excellent as there is a diversity of animals and they are introduced using the baby animal name.

Full disclosure, I have been reading Jane Whittingham's writing for a long time. And while this may not be an essay or a longer book, this is just right for what it is intended for, which is very young children.

The photos are of both baby animals and baby humans, doing the same thing. We see porcupettes nibbling (baby porcupines) as well as a human child doing the same. There are kids of different colors, as well as a child with a walker. Kids do all sort of things that baby animals do. The kids and animals are all adorable.

Great addition to reading to kids with, and for kids to look at the pictures, and say "that's me."

A fine addition to any board book or picture book collection.

What an excellent book for toddlers and preschoolers! Each page features a child and baby animal in various types of movement. Not only are the photos beautiful and compelling, but the text is full of great vocabulary words, both for animal babies and for movement-centered verbs. This would be an excellent reading book for an active child as they can move along with the animals and get their wiggles out while still enjoying story time. This would also be a fantastic addition to preschool and community libraries and could be a real favorite!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
