Bounce

by Doreen Cronin

Book Overview

Bounce a ball right off your hands. Bounce it off your toes. Try to bounce a beach ball on the tip of your nose Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin, who had toddlers all over America jiggling with Wiggle , invite them now to hop, leap, pounce, and bounce to their hearts' content (though not on couches ). Because, after all, it's better to have bounced and bumped than never to have bounced at all.

Bouncing Good Time For Pre-Schoolers!

My preference for read-aloud books is ALWAYS for rhyming content, since little ones like the rhythm and, er, "bounce" of such books. This one is a winner, (no surprise there) and I like the illustrations, too (favorites: the cabbages, the ballerinas, and the take on Gene Kelly's "Singin' In The Rain.") The concept of bouncing into and onto things is such a simple pleasure for small children, and Cronin had the forethought to turn it into a reading pleasure, too.
