About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their energetic child needs a positive and joyful outlet for their physical wiggles. This story celebrates the pure fun of movement, following a child through a week of delightful activities, from marching on Monday to twirling on Tuesday and, of course, wiggling on Wednesday. It beautifully reframes high energy not as a problem to be managed, but as a source of creativity and joy. For preschoolers learning the days of the week, this book offers a kinetic and memorable way to connect with the concept while validating their need to move their bodies.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. The book is consistently upbeat and joyful, with no sensitive content.
Ideal Reader
A 3 to 5-year-old who is highly active and learns best through kinesthetic experiences. This is the perfect book for the child who is always in motion, loves to dance, and might have trouble sitting still for longer stories. It speaks directly to their nature and gives them permission to be themselves.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed to read the book, but parents should be prepared for it to inspire immediate physical activity. This is not a calming bedtime story. It's best read when there is space and time to get up and wiggle, dance, and march along with the story. The parent has just caught their child bouncing on the furniture for the third time or has received a note from preschool about their child having “a lot of energy.” The parent is looking for a way to positively channel this energy and connect with their child over something that feels like a shared challenge.
