From Head to Toe Eric Carle

From Head to Toe
Eric Carle
What does an elephant do It stomps its foot. Can
you From the creator of such beloved classics as
The Grouchy Ladybug and The Mixed-Up
Chameleon comes this interactive story that
invites kids to imitate animal movements. Watching
giraffes bend their necks or monkeys wave their
arms is fun, but nothing could be better than
joining in. From their heads down to their toes,
kids will be wriggling, jiggling, and giggling as they
try to keep up with these animals! Alligators
wiggle, elephants stop, gorillas thump, and giraffes
bend. Can you do it ‘ I can do it!’ is the
confidence-building message of this fun-filled
interactive picture book. A variety of familiar
animals invite young children to copy their antics,
and as they play, they will learn such important
skills as careful listening, focusing attention, and
following instructions. Just as alphabet books
introduce the very young child to letters and
simple words, From Head to Toe introduces the
basic body parts and simple body movements. And
in the same way that children progress from
understanding simple words to reading and writing
sentences and stories, so they will progress from
simple body movements to dancing, gymnastics, and
other sports and activities, with confidence and
pleasure.

Apple Trouble!
Ragnhild Scamell
Hedgehog has finished building a cozy
nest for winter. Unfortunately, a ripe apple
falls from the tree above and gets stuck in
her spines, making it impossible for her to
fit in her new digs. She has several friends
to whom she can go for advice, but their
instructions simply make her situation
worse. She ends up with other bits and
pieces stuck to her body in addition to the
apple —including nuts, a pear, a dried leaf,
and some berries. Then she meets
another animal that is able to ease her
situation by eating everything stuck to her.
Bright spreads reveal the harried
hedgehog and her helpers. Blooming
flowers and the summer green of the
trees belie the fact that it's time to
hibernate, but kids won't mind this
anomaly.

paper announcing a talent show at the
county fair (first prize, a slightly used
trampoline), Farmer Brown's animals
are unstoppable. The cows and sheep
concentrate on their singing while the
pigs work on interpretive dance. How
the suspicious farmer could ever
confuse all this noise with routine
snoring is a bit of a stretch, but the
hilarious late-night practice scenes
inside the barn will help readers make
the leap. At the talent show, the cows
and sheep impress some of the judges,
but lack of sleep has the pigs truly
snoring when it is time to perform.
Fortunately, Duck steps in to save the
day with a winning version of Born to
Be Wild. After the talent show, Farmer
Brown suspects nothing until he hears
boings coming from the barn.

The Big Snow

the long, cold winter ahead when the
countryside is hidden under a deep
blanket of snow. They gather food and
look for warm, snug places in the
ground, trees, caves or thickets, where
they can find protection against the icy
winds.
It might have been hard for the birds
and animals of the hillside to survive
when the Big Snow came if their good
friends, who lived in the little stone
house, had not remembered to put
food out for them.
Here, in many beautiful pictures, the
Haders show how winter comes to the
woodland as the busy animals make
their preparations.
