Who Hops?
by
Katie Davis (Goodreads Author)
From the cow that doesn’t hop to the giraffe that doesn’t crawl, animals on brightly colored page after page offer up giggles galore and a delightfully silly look at the way some creatures do--and don’t--get around.
When the time comes to guess who hops and flies and slithers and swims and crawls, observant young readers just might know the answer!

I read "Who Hoots" and couldn't resist reading its predecessor, "Who Hops." It lists animals who share similar actions, such as snakes who slither and lizards who slither, until it finds and animal that does not do the same action. Then a few facts are given about that animal thus introducing the child to all kinds of animals and the things they do. The illustrations are again very bright and eye-catching, which along with the easy to follow pattern of language all lends very well to story time....more

Cool story that helps young readers learn about animals. The illustrations are well drawn and add to the story to help readers follow the storyline. Cute analogies of what animals do, can help readers learn about a variety of animals in a short story. The colors are bright and fun and make the story more fun to read. I would suggest young readers for this story, but may be a silly read for older readers who know all their animals.

Speaking of feet, it's time for a WIGGLE BREAK! Put your hands together and open up this book.
Everybody stand up now and answer "Who Hops?" Frogs, Rabbits, Kangaroos, Cows. Oops. Not cows!
(Let the children hop as you name the hoppers).
The following sections ask "Who flies?", "Who slithers?", "Who swims?", "Who crawls?" and finally, "Who does them all?"
If only a short wiggle break is needed, just do the section of the book which best applies to the story time theme.

This is a good book to get kids thinking about different animals and how they are alike and different. This is a simple book that beginning readers could read on their own or that parents and teachers could use with kids that can't read yet. I read this book to a three year old and she had a great time acting out the hopping, swimming, and crawling of different animals.
This book is an all-time favorite at our house. My husband and I get a little teary-eyed when we recall our little girls laughing hysterically at the silliness of the suggestion that a COW HOPS. The repetitive style allows young children to quickly predict what will happen so that they learn to read the words themselves. The colorful illustrations are attractive and fun.
This was read at story time at the Lewiston Library. It lists three animals that do hop (or crawl or swim or fly) and then one that doesn't, which is silly. The illustrations were big and bright. It was a fun animal book, but it didn't have that special something for me. I did like that it was about how animals move versus just their noises.
Maybe because we read it first, or maybe because Micah prefers saying "Yes, they do" over "No, they don't", but I think we like Who Hoots? better, but both are fun, brightly illustrated books for kids.
A simple, funny brightly coloured book about animals -- those that hop, fly, slither, etc. and those that don't. Likely too long and with too unusual animals for toddlers, but well suited for preschool storytimes where all the children can be invited to mimic the movements in the book.

Who hops is really fun!
I can see this being a great book to help with comparisons and a great car game, which is where the idea started!
I like the bright, colorful illustrations too!

It's a silly book. Not something I would recommend, just because there are so many other books that I would have little kids read, that has them actually learning something. I would recommend it as an entertaining read aloud to preschool and kindergarten kids.
Cows don't hop. And when they try, the results are disastrous, but completely silly fun. With bright illustration and questions such as "who flies?" and "who swims?" begging to be answered, this is a favorite of the preschool storytime crowd.
PB 21: The great colors and illustrations keep their attention! Would be another great interactive book when teaching animals. Could spark discussion: "What DOES that animal do?" or "If that animal COULD hop, what would it look like?" Fun.
This book had a good pattern with bold, clear illustrations. It felt very natural to read and the kids picked up on the idea pretty quickly and enjoyed it.
This book was very cute! My kindergarteners in my field experience loved this book and found it pretty funny! The illustrations are great too!
Great kids book. Bright and funny. Kids have an
opportunity to correct the writer when she tries
to make animals behave in ways they can't.

Recnetly read this book to my baby and she liked it. I love how the book is playful and has a surprise at the end.
I think this is the first time I've ever seen sarcasm really work in a picture book for young children. So funny!
Very cute. Looking forward to using it for PreK storytime. Wish the animals were colored a little less... neon.
Enjoyed reading this book with my son and having him proud to be knowledgeable.

Great for Toddler Time or Rhyme Time Music and Movement!
Great for early readers and for nonfiction mentor text.

So fun and creative. My kids get such a kick out of it.
Great concept book. Get's lots of silly giggles.
A. still likes this book. Silliness!
In this Spanish version of Who Hops?, children will have fun learning about which animals hop, fly, slither, swim, and crawl. I used it as a participatory story for a frog-and-toad-themed program for both Spanish and bilingual story times.
This book is a great ‘beginning to read’ book for students. It has simple, colorful illustrations to grab student’s attention but not distract them. The story line is quite cute and clever as well!! It is repetitive which would help students to be able to read it independently in no time. he book is short, sweet, fun, and to the point.
