Join in the fun with all the little animals from around the world. Can you cuddle like a koala, holding on tight? Or can you creep like a mouse in the pale moonlight? Can you leap like a frog in the bubbling stream? Or can you stretch like a tiger, waking from a dream? With so many animal actions to copy, even little ones will want to join in with the rhyme, until they're ready to curl up like a squirrel, getting ready for the night! John Butler's beautiful illustrations and delightful text capture these animal antics perfectly.
