About this title

Synopsis

More movement for kids!

Does this sound familiar? Your child is once again sitting in front of the tablet, game console, or TV, and you know they should be moving more. But you’re running out of ideas, and you don’t feel like playing catch or hide and seek over and over again.

Many parents feel the same way. Compared to the past, children now spend many more hours in front of screens instead of romping around in their home or yard. We know this isn’t ideal for their development, but changing it isn’t always easy.
This book is here to encourage your child to engage in a variety of playful movements.

In the story, the parent animals at the zoo have come down with the flu. The little animal children are gathered in a special enclosure, where they play only with each other. Over time, some even forget how to move properly, and they need help to remember!

The book was developed by sports scientist Markus Grimberg with the goal of encouraging children aged 3 to 6 to move more by imitating—or in this case, demonstrating—animal movements. It benefits your child on several levels:

• Improvement of Motor Skills: Through the diverse movements they imitate, your child will develop coordination, mobility, speed, strength, and endurance—all in an age-appropriate way. Body awareness is enhanced, building both self-confidence and self-assurance.
• Strengthening of Self-Esteem: Your child is needed for an important task—helping the little animal children get back on their feet through movement! This creates a sense of accomplishment and joy.
• Understanding of Uniqueness: The book conveys that comparing oneself to others doesn’t make sense. On the contrary, it shows that every living creature is unique and valuable.

With this book, you can sit comfortably in an armchair and watch as your child jumps, crawls, sneaks, and runs around the room, having fun. Or, of course, you can join in and double the fun!

At the end of the story, you’ll find some simple ideas for easily and effectively integrating more movement into your daily routine so you can fully support your child’s physical and mental development.

Now let’s get started! Are you coming to the zoo with us?
