From School Library Journal
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.
