About this Item

Paperback. One day three children playing outside decide to take a nap under a big oak tree. As they drifted off to sleep, little did they know that they are lying upon a path or "bridge" that the animals cross one by one, starting with the smallest. As parents read this book to their children at bedtime, they should mimic the animals walking across the bridge on the children's bellies. Small ants tickle, frogs hop, porcupines poke, and the snake slithers - don't move or he may bite! This is a wonderful way to bond with your children and send them off to sleepy land with giggles and tickles. It is also a unique way to teach children about different animals, they're sizes and the sounds they make. Many times while playing Animal Bridge with my own children, I would let them pick the animals that came next over the bridge, even choosing the final ENORMOUS animal for the climatic ending. This could be a dinosaur eating them up, an elephant squishing them with kisses, or a beached whale flopping around and rolling all over the bed!

About this title

Synopsis

One day, three children were playing outside and decided to take a nap under a big oak tree. As they drifted off to sleep, little did they know that they were lying upon a path making a "bridge" that the animals would cross over one-by-one, starting with the smallest.

As parents read this book to their children, they may mimic the animals walking across the bridge on the children's bellies. Small ants tickle, frogs hop, porcupines poke, and the snake slithers -- don't move or get bitten!

Children love using their imaginations when choosing the next animal to cross the bridge. Animal Bridge also gives parents a unique way of teaching their children about the various animals and the sounds they make.

For a BIG tickle time ending, dinosaurs may eat the children up, or an elephant will squish them with hugs and kisses. Imagine a beached whale rolling and flopping all over the bed! Reading Animal Bridge will surely have your children begging to be tucked in at night with giggles and tickles.

About the Author

WENDE DATEMA, a graduate of Western Michigan University, was born and raised in Michigan. The proud mother of three loved reading to her children at night when they were little. Sadly, she found there weren't many bedtime or tickle time stories. So, Wende created her own stories.

Animal Bridge, has children begging to be tucked into bed at night with giggles and tickles mimicking animals crossing over the children's bellies. Wende's second book, Sophie the Sleeping Fairy, keeps them in it, making both books the perfect bedtime combination.
