About this book

Join the romp! Join the romp! Let’s HOP to the wild Safari Stomp! 

Follow a child and the animals he meets, and join in the Safari Stomp yourself! First, a bunny teaches us how to hop, then an aardvark suggests crawling. A giraffe is good at lunging and a lion at roaring. And there are even more animals at the water hole, all dancing in their own ways. Eventually, they all yawn and stretch. It’s time to sleep. 

This lively picture book has vibrant, energetic illustrations of friendly animals and an enthusiastic child. This is a book that encourages active participation, but it does wind down to bedtime (or a quiet time) at the end! The rhythmic rhyming text is pleasing to read aloud, and the repetition of the refrain means that children will learn to join in with the words, as well as joining in with the actions.Wonderful fun to share, to get children moving and saying the words.
