Can you stretch to the ceiling? Can you stretch to the floor? You can stretch with a whisper, you can stretch with a roar! Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin give new meaning to the yoga pose downward facing dog as publishing’s most energetic pooch explores the many, many ways a kid can get limber. More than simple toe touching, this pup stretches to ride a breeze, grab a snack from a tree, catch a wave. His bubble gum even gets in on the stretching action. POP! And he reminds us not to forget that we also need to stretch our imaginations (recognize that statue, anyone?). This interactive, energetic rhyming text will also help parents stretch out reading time with their youngsters.

Scott Menchin received rave reviews for his boisterous illustrations in Wiggle by Doreen Cronin. His unique style has also bounced around with such high-profile publications as the New York Times and Time. He lives with his wife and daughter in New York and teaches at the Pratt Institute graduate school.
PreS—The energetic dog from Wiggle (2005) and Bounce (2007, both S & S) has returned with a tale to stretch readers' imaginations. Children are invited to extend arms, legs, lungs, and even vocal chords as the dog bounds from page to page. Playful rhyming text is complemented by pen-and-ink illustrations with digital color and photographic elements on clean, uncluttered backgrounds. There is no doubt that the dog is the star, though other animals appear in supporting roles: "Stretch up high for a snack in the trees" shows the pup on a giraffe as it reaches for an apple. As the dog and a friend chisel a large stone sculpture of a dog, the text reads, "If you stretch me and I stretch you.../we'll stretch twice as far.../Who knows what we can do?" The sky is the limit with this engaging read-aloud.—Lisa Glasscock, Columbine Public Library, Littleton, CO
