Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 04/01/1997 PreS--Animals and multiethnic children illustrate various body movements on large, double-page spreads. A giraffe bends its neck, a monkey waves its arms, etc. The repetitive text has the animal stating the movement and asking, Can you do it? Each child responds, I can do it! Carle's vivid cut-paper collages are striking and invite sharing individually or with a group. There is no story--rather the book is an invitation to get everyone moving. A nice addition to a toddler storytime, but it may get lost as it's cataloged in 613.7.--Lisa Smith, Lindenhurst Memorial Library, NY - Copyright 1997 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
Booklist - 04/15/1997 Carle's signature strong collages are put to good use in this book about movement. In each two-page spread, a child is paired with an animal, and kids are invited to make the same movement as the duo. Usually, the movement is one that comes naturally to the animals--for instance, an elephant stomps its feet, and so does a girl with braids; a gorilla thumps its chest, and so does a young boy. (Sometimes the connection is more tenuous, such as the alligator wiggling its hips.) The oversize art set against expanses of white will intrigue young children, who will enjoy both seeing the art and doing their own movements. The book will work well in story hours: a bit of wiggling and thumping will make a pleasurable break in the listening. Most libraries will want to shelve this with picture books.
