MOVE!

 rm20

Description:
In this lively collaboration by spouses Jenkins and Page, a host of animal movements are sure to leave children wanting to imitate the animals' swinging, waddling, and jumping actions.

  Jenkins' signature paper collages, boldly set against white backgrounds, illustrate each of two actions per animal; these are preceded and followed by parallel movements performed by different animals. "A jacana [a waterbird] walks on floating lily pads . . . " reads a right-hand page. The page turn completes the sentence: "then dives to catch a fish." The blue whale pictured alongside dives, too, but the next page reveals that it also swims, just like the adjacent armadillo.
