About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler is full of energy and needs a playful, rhythmic way to channel their natural urge to move and make noise. It is the perfect choice for a wiggly storytime or as a transition to get a child moving from one activity to another with a sense of joy and silliness. Following a toddler's whimsical parade to the end of a seaside pier, the story is a celebration of onomatopoeia and physical movement. Julia Donaldson uses infectious rhymes to introduce a cast of characters and animals that join a growing, noisy procession. It is a wonderful tool for building early language skills and auditory processing through repetition, making it an essential addition to any young child's library for both its entertainment value and its ability to model social curiosity and friendship.
