What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is entirely secular and lighthearted, focusing on physical play and animal behavior. There are no moments of peril or conflict.
Ideal Reader
A high-energy preschooler who struggles to sit still during traditional storytime. This child learns best through kinesthetic movement and loves repeating catchy, rhythmic phrases.
Parent Prep
This book is best read with enthusiasm. Parents should be prepared to act out the motions (hopping, skidooing) alongside the child. It can be read cold, but works best if the parent encourages the child to predict the rhymes. A parent might reach for this after seeing their child zooming around the living room or when they notice the child is starting to take an interest in rhyming words and animal sounds.
