Hope you are all enjoying your weekend and have a little time left to read the August Read & Romp Roundup, which is tiny but tantalizing this time around. Thanks to all who contributed. I really do love hearing all the ways you use picture books and poetry to get the little ones in your life moving...
Catherine at Story Snug reviews the picture book Doing the Animal Bop by Jan Ormerod and Lindsey Gardiner. The book is full of animals, bold and colorful illustrations, and -- as you might expect -- dance moves. According to Catherine, "the rhyming text flows beautifully and is very easy to read. However, to get the full Animal Bop experience, the accompanying CD is a must!"
At Omazing Kids, Angela shares one of her favorite picture books to help kids learn about feelings -- My Many Colored Days by Dr. Seuss. In her post, Angela offers a supply list for a wonderful yoga class that incorporates music, arts and crafts, scarves for movement activities, and yoga poses for each animal in the book. Her ideas could also work in dance class, a library story time, or at home, so take a look!

Cute books which I have never seen. Must check them out. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you found some new books that might be of interest. The Dr. Seuss book is so different from his other books, so I remember being really surprised when I first read it. A beautiful book, though. I haven't read Animal Bop myself, but I've read the sequel and think it's pretty fun. Thanks for stopping by :)
