5.0 out of 5 stars Danceable Rhythms and Loads of Entertainment for All Ages, January 2, 2005

By	Julie Jordan Scott "Writer, Life Coach - Owne... (Bakersfield, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Simply looking at this cover and allowing its color and vivid animal-cartoon emotion will tell you much of the "story" of this book, it's pure gloriousness comes from the combination of humor in the poetic words from Karma Wilson or the sweet-amusing illustrations from Suzanne Watts and the fun-thoughts gleaned from the words and illustrations.

My 7 year old read this to my 3 year old and I listened in.

I am not sure who got the most out of it - we were all engaged for our own reasons. The frog (a croak-in heart... I couldn't help but start singing in a country twang with that one) the cat's meow "The one I love the most? Me, myself and I", "sealed" with a kiss - now think of two seals kissing....

Just how wide is your smile right now? That's exactly why you need this book, to get it even wider and to evoke that laughter wanting to spring up from your belly
