Description:

Eric Carle, the beloved creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, invites the very youngest readers to wriggle, stomp and clap along with a joyful parade of animals in this lively interactive picture book. A penguin turns its head, a giraffe bends its neck, a monkey waves its arms, a gorilla thumps its chest, an elephant stomps and a donkey kicks its legs — each one asking, "Can you do it?" and the children in the book chiming back, "I can do it!" Set against Carle's signature collages of bright, hand-painted paper, the simple call-and-response text gently introduces body parts, encourages careful listening, and builds little ones' confidence in their own growing bodies. A perfect read-aloud for storytime that turns every page into playtime.
