This book presents a series of animals and names two ways each animal moves, skillfully linking each animal to the next with the second manner of movement.

Turn the page and you find that the praying mantis can also fly. On the opposite side of the page, you learn that a roadrunner can fly. Turn the page and yo More...

Summary: Animals are shown doing different two different actions; snakes slither and snakes climb.
Review: I love cut paper designs, and these are especially spectacular. The illustrations provide the texture and dimension of the animal they portray in different movements. I really enjoyed the way that the animals were were shown in two movements connecting them with another very different animal who moves the same way. The pictures make the book for me, but the text is more than ade More...

I didn't mind looking through the book with my mamma. But, she was the one who would pull this book from the stack. She loved the pictures. She would point out the textures in the illustrations. She kept asking papa how he thought the artist made the pictures. I just wanted to get through it so that we could read the next book. But, I did like the bunny picture.

Move! is the features 'making of' video on Steve Jenkins' website. My students especially liked the camera trick at the end. Totally recommended -- my second graders loved this book!

about motion in nature. text is set off by one motion word. good illustrations. another reminder that, mostly, simpler is better when it comes to children's lit.

Loved it. Great illustrations. Great verbs. Loved that each animal moved two ways...leading to the way the next animal moved.

A crocodile leaps and slithers, a jumping spider dances and floats, and a penguin slides and waddles. The latest offering from husband-wife team of Steve Jenkins and Robin Page focuses on action verbs and animal movement. The cut-and-torn paper illustrations are wonderfully detailed and texture-rich, making this an excellent addition to classroom units on action verbs. More details about each featured animal are given at book’s end, which opens up possibilities in animal units as well.

ABC book about each animal, no story like, very simple to read. Different animals made it interesting. Loved the illustrations. More explanations about each animal at the end of the book.

Steve Jenkins' illustrations make this book. My only complaint is that, among all the different ways animals move, they forgot hop.
