Who Hops?

Summary:
This bright and color-filled book engages children by allowing them to learn about how certain animals and creatures do and do not get around. From the cow who doesn't hop to the Rhino who doesn't fly, children can read along about how certain animals move, and when they get to an animal that doesn't get around in a certain way, the children yell out "No they don't!"

I really enjoyed how brightly colorful this book was; a white spec was never found in this book. I like how the book asked different questions about which animals got around a certain way. For instance, on one colorful page, there is a little boy pointing to a large sign that says, "Who flies?" This gets children thinking about what animals and creatures fly. It then show more shows a little bird flying, a bat flying, a fly fling, and a rhino flying. Although, Rhino's don't fly, so I think it's funny how the next page illustrates the rhino on its head with a Band-Aid on. This is when the students yell "No They Don't!" I like how the book illustrates a variety of movements, such as hopping, flying, slithering, swimming etc. The central message of this book is to illustrate to children how animals move around. show less

Absolutly one of my favorite books in the library. Children love this book! They want to read it over and over again. They think it's funny the way she tries to "trick" them. There is a pattern to each motion mentioned (hops, crawl, swim, etc...) that is quickly picked up on and fun! Everyone should have this book in their library. Children of all ages enjoy this book. Crawlers and toddlers love it for the vibrant pictures and simple words, preschoolers enjoy it for the humor in it. It's great!

This simple book works well with a bilingual group of various ages. Get up and moovin' and watch out for a few surprises!

Opens with a big bold question -- "Who hops?" -- and then answers, "Frogs hop. Rabbits hop. Kangaroos hop. Cows hop." Then the text stops and responds, "NO THEY DON'T! Cows moo and give milk, but they don't hop!" It continues in a similar vein, asking "Who flies?", "Who slithers?", "Who swims?", "Who crawls?", and finally a composite question, "Who hops and flies and slithers and swims and crawls?" -- and the answer is "You do!"

I love this because it has simple concept on different animals, and it guess the students guessing I read it to them in both Spanish and English and they have a lot of fun it has also different facts about animals.

I love this book! This book asks questions such as who hops, swims, slithers and flies. Each question it'll have an animal in it that doesn't hop or fly and it'll explain why it was silly to think that a cow can hop. It'll then correct it and say what that animal actually does.
