This is a lively and fresh interactive introduction to the basic body parts and movements. In this title, gorillas, elephants, camels and other animals invite all young readers to clap, stomp, wriggle and bend like they do.

He has worked as a graphic artist for the New York Times and various advertising agencies. He now works freelance as an illustrator and is concerned with the transition of the child from the home to the school environment. Eric Carle lives in Massachusetts. ReviewsAs the artist's collages emulate animal movements, children will "eagerly clap, stomp, kick and wriggle their way through these pages," said PW. Ages 4-8. (Oct.) Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information. PreS‘Animals and multiethnic children illustrate various body movements on large, double-page spreads. A giraffe bends its neck, a monkey waves its arms, etc. The repetitive text has the animal stating the movement and asking, "Can you do it?" Each child responds, "I can do it!" Carle's vivid cut-paper collages are striking and invite sharing individually or with a group. There is no story‘rather the book is an invitation to get everyone moving. A nice addition to a toddler storytime, but it may get lost as it's cataloged in 613.7.‘Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY |
