Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 1?In the first part of this basic introduction to movement, a small boy tells of the enjoyment he gets from kicking a ball, walking on tiptoes, throwing a ball, etc. How ability to move changes as humans grow up and age is mentioned. However, the mechanics of how a person moves is not covered. In the second half of the book, the child imitates various animals, hopping like a kangaroo, slithering like a snake, etc. The science aspect, which up to this point has been largely observation, changes its focus and the presentation becomes more reflective of the child's enthusiasm for movement. The illustrations are simple, large, bright, cheerful, and reflect cultural diversity. Marie Hall Ets's Just Me (Viking, 1965) is a better exploration of animal movement and Linda Lowery's Twist with a Burger, Jitter with a Bug (Ticknor & Fields, 1994) conveys the joys of movement with much more pizzazz.?Louise L.

Gr. 1, younger for reading aloud. Part of the Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series, this picture book celebrates movement. Cheerful cartoon-style pictures in pencil and watercolor show a boy, his friends, and his family on the move. "I walk. I run. I ride my bike. I dance. I prance. I march. I skip and hop and twirl around." He uses his legs and feet to kick a ball. He uses his arms and hands to throw and catch. When he was a tiny baby, he learned to roll over, sit up, crawl, walk. His friend in a wheelchair can't walk but shows him how to do pull-ups. Kids will act out the movements and learn the verbs and add their own energetic improvisations. Hazel Rochman
