Moving with books: Waddle

Also see Moving with books: Barnyard Dance

When Little Lady was born, a dear friend gave us the book Waddle by Rufus Butler.  It's an awesome book.  We love the rhymes and especially the moving, colored pages with the animals.  This is a book that we also like to get up and move with.  Almost every time we read it, Mini Me (and now Little Lady is catching on to the fun that comes beyond wiggling the pages) has to get up and jump like a frog, stomp like an elephant, and scamper like a bear.  This is not a book we can read before nap time or bed time because things usually get wild.  I finally caught a little of our fun on video.  Mini Me's animal actions seem to change with every reading and his finale this time surprised me!



I hope you enjoy our moving with books posts - stay tuned for more - and I would love to hear suggestions on what books get your children moving, and how!
