Who says you have to sit still at story time? This book encourages toddlers and preschoolers to shimmy, shake, and stomp along with a story that's both fun and filled with layers of learning!
Who has wiggle-waggle toes? I do. Who has flip-flop feet? I do!
The girls and boys in this book have kissable noses, out-there elbows, big bold bottoms, and hokey pokey heads--which they crinkle, flap, shimmy, and shake. This joyful celebration of our amazing body parts encourages fun, high-energy learning about science, language, self-regulation and focus, and more!
Perfect for brain breaks and active story times!
"High spirits and funny words set the tone in this crowd-pleasing picture book. . . . Chessa's playful illustrations feature a large, diverse crew of preschoolers who appear in small groups in different settings and clearly enjoy frolicking about in response to the words. A cheerful change of pace for storytime fun."—Booklist
