Elephants, Basic Concepts 

It’s a brightly illustrated interactive book that really gets boys and girls moving! A picture showing elephants appears with text that asks: “Can you do what an elephant does? Deep in the jungle, the elephants go―slow, slow, to and fro, swinging their trunks from side to side.” Kids are challenged to move like an elephant . . . then like a slithery snake, and then like a swinging monkey. The colorful pictures that follow show a peacock, a snail, a big yellow butterfly, a springing tiger, a running deer, a herd of frightened animals, and a flock of flamingos. Finally, kids are asked if they can cuddle up and go to sleep like a small rabbit in its burrow. Here’s an imaginatively illustrated volume that also makes a perfect bedtime story. Endpapers contrast Manya Stojic’s vivid art with color photos of kids imitating the animals. (Ages 2–6) - from Amzon
