About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their toddler or preschooler is full of wiggles and needs a fun, constructive way to channel that physical energy. "How Do You Move?" is a vibrant and straightforward concept book that uses a simple, repetitive question to explore different types of movement. Each page pairs a photograph of an animal with a photo of a diverse child, showing actions like wiggling, leaping, and stretching. It celebrates the joy and curiosity of discovering what a body can do. Perfect for the 2-to-5-year-old crowd, this book is an excellent choice for an interactive read-aloud that gets kids up and moving, building vocabulary and connecting it to physical action.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is a direct and positive exploration of physical movement.
Ideal Reader
A 2- or 3-year-old who is in the midst of their gross motor skill development and loves to be active. It is also perfect for a preschooler who is a kinesthetic learner or any child who needs a "brain break" to get their wiggles out. It's an excellent resource for a preschool or daycare circle time.
Parent Prep
No preparation is required. This book can be read cold. Parents should be ready to be a little silly and participate in the movements alongside their child to get the most out of the experience. A parent notices their child is restless, constantly moving, and has trouble sitting still. The child is mimicking animals they see on TV or in the yard. The parent is looking for a short, engaging book that is more about doing than just listening.
