Who can use this book?
•Young readers who are learning their action words and numbers.
•Parents who want their kids to be active as well as active readers.
•Teachers who want their students to warm up their bodies as they practice following directions.
Joey is a fun character who takes a few steps in keeping active. He shares what he knows with young readers. The illustrations are also good as they show the actions that help kids move more. I could read one action at a time or the whole book. Kids will enjoy reading it over and over. I certainly recommend this book.
