Each doublespread in this book features an action word, presented in a large font along with one or two animals created with collages of cut and torn paper and a sentence with the animal and the action word. The page turns are action packed themselves. For example an armadillo swims and then quickly leaps on the next page to avoid a crocodile. I plan to use this for a lesson on action words in the context of a first grade unit on motion. Notes about the animals and how they move follow the body of the text.

Yet another wonderful offering from Steve Jenkins. The use of all sorts of action verbs combines well with his cut paper illustrations to make an appealing and useful book for early elementary students.
