About this book
Can you run like a cheetah, slither like a snake, swing like a monkey, or stomp like an elephant?
This book will show you how, with the ingenious use of slides and tabs that little ones can use to move the animals around on the page.
As well as showing how different animals move, and introducing little ones to some new vocabulary and animal names, there’s some lovely rhyme in the brief text on every page, as well as a bit of counting too.
All in all, that means that little ones are listening to some new, interesting words like slither, learning to name four animals, and discovering a little bit about where those four animals live and how they move.
Stomp Like an Elephant! is a lovely, bright, and colourful book with friendly-faced animal illustrations from Guilherme Karsten. The focus on movement means that adults reading can encourage children to stomp, slither, run, and swing, too – making this a tremendously interactive book with lots of potential for play and learning.
