Can you stretch like a cat or hang like a bat? This little one can do those things and so many more as she bounds energetically through her day. Author Jane Whittingham's sprightly couplets take her from the park to the pool to dinner and bed, while Noel Tuazon cleverly illustrates the animal companions of a child's imagination.
Published in a sturdy format with padded cover, rounded corners, and extra-heavy paper, this picture book is perfect for sharing with wiggly, little wild ones of your own. And as the last pages are turned, the story's final, sweet goodnight will leave the liveliest listeners ready to snuggle like a bear at bedtime.
An energetic, rhyming day-in-the-life romp with a child and the animal playmates of her imaginationRhyming couplets describe a day in the life of an energetic, little girl who stretches like a cat and hangs like a bat, while the illustrations show both the child and the succession of imaginary animals she mimics. Her activities wind up with a gentle goodnight as her parents tuck her, snuggling like a bear, into bed.
