#1508 in our old book database. Rated: Good.

A nice book for little ones that introduces different animals and body parts and allows for fun imitation of different movements if you want to make reading time an active event. (

Interactive book, big bright pictures, great conversations about body parts and body movements! Great to use as a read aloud in kindergarten classroom or as a part on an Eric Carle author study! (

Interactive book that's great for toddlers, with big bright pictures and plenty of opportunities to demonstrate what the animals can do. (

This is a great resource when teaching a lesson about the human body and movement. Great way to engage students.

Epigraph

Dedication

Dedicated to:

Miss Frickey, my first grade teacher in Syracuse, New York, who discovered and nurtured my drawing pictures.
Herr Krauss, my art teacher in Gymnasium, high school, in Stuttgart, Germany, who introduced me to modern art when it was forbidden to be shown.
Professor Schneidler, who inspired me when I studied graphic design under him at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Stuttgart.
