Funny!

I bought this for my Pre-K class and they LOVE it! Its a fun book that you just cant sit still while reading it.

High energy story that is simply fun to read aloud!

A superbly simple rhyming story about wiggling through your day. I wanted to wiggle with the pictures on each page. I thoroughly enjoyed how Scott Menchin, the artist, used a real rubber ducky in a fake drawn bathtub and a cartoon dog with a real pancake on his head. The mismatched pictures were basic, colorful and fun to look at. The story itself is still in the style of the author's other books, Click, Clack, Moo, but doesn't make you feel as if you have read a different version of it already. Fresh ideas and crisp clean pages will have this book screaming to be read every day. Also recommended to use for teachers of kindergarten or first grade to start off the day with a good wiggle. Wiggling and movement before sitting down all day in class can provide some much needed stress relief...even for kids!

A true original!

This is such a fun book. Fans of Doreen Cronin work get a special treat with Scott Menchin's illustrations. I absolutely love the pictures in this book! Menchin combines real pictures with illustrations and creative shadowing (not sure if that is a real word!) My 2-year-old has to take it to bed with her, she loves it so much. I recommend it to anyone with toddlers. In fact, it's my new birthday gift.

FABULOUS WIGGLY FUN

you MUST get this book--it is terrific! the rhyme is very catchy, the pictures are colorful and fun and i dare a toddler to not like it. my son (19 months old) requests this book several times a day--he can't get enough of it. the story is just short enough to keep a toddler's attention while being long enough to tell a tale. HIGHLY recommended!!!

Mom with 3 year old daughter.

My daughter LOVES this book. She is fond of poetry and rhyming books and this one is perfect. We enjoy wiggling together each time we read this book. A GREAT FIND that we love reading over, and over, and over, and over agin..
