Can I tell you how this book changed my life?
My three-year-old daughter loves The Animal Boogie from beginning to end. I love it too because she will shimmy, shake, swing, and sing along to the CD while turning the pages and I can make dinner without being interrupted! There's almost no other activity that will keep her occupied by herself for that long, and I feel lucky to have discovered it.
The illustrations are so full of color and detail, and I adore the diversity of the children in the pictures - including one little girl in a wheelchair. I also love that the animals are both boys and girls; I've noticed lately that almost all animals in other books are male unless they are mommies.
So far we have only read this at home with my daughter alone, but I think this book and the CD would work wonderfully for a group of children with different kids playing the part of different animals in the book. Loud, but wonderful! Watch a video version of the book with the song to see what I mean.
The Animal Boogie was awarded the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award in 2001, the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award in 2003, and was a Society of School Librarians International Honor Book in 2001.
We have the paperback version with the CD, which is $9.99. There is also a hardcover version with CD available for $16.99, or you can purchase the paperback version without the CD for $6.99 (though I don't know why you wouldn't want the CD - see above about the life changing and everything...).
There is also a Spanish version, Cha-cha-cha en la selva.
For even more fun, try the Animal Boogie Mini Cube Puzzle - 36 pieces in a sturdy box for $12.99 - or the Animal Boogie Fun Activities paperback - puzzles, games, coloring pages, and sticker activities for $5.99.
Boogie, woogie, oogie!

Hebt es Kopf und Hals, schlägt es mit dem Schweif oder weicht es dem Druck aus, haben Sie zu stark massiert. Die Muskulatur verhärtet sich. Das Pferd legt die Ohren an, manche schnappen sogar oder zucken vor Schmerz. In diesem Fall sollten Sie einen Profi hinzuziehen. Animals
Even after all years of evolution, one thing remains true: animals love better than humans do. We think ourselves at the top of the food chain. However, the animal kingdom still surpasses us in many ways. These wonderful creatures which many of us do not appreciate enough can teach us so much. www.elevage-oie-tricard.com/maps/

ReplyDeleteAnimal hoarding is a problem for not the just hoarder, but the animals themselves. This creatures are actually tragically hurt by what the hoarder perceives as kindness and protection. puppy
