Amazon.com Review
Who hops? Does a cow hop? A giraffe? And if not, what do they do instead? These simple questions are answered in Katie Davis's fanciful Who Hops? Exploding with color, this engaging read-aloud book takes a fun-filled look at the world of animal movement. Introducing animals that really do hop or fly or swim, Davis ends the sequence with one that certainly doesn't. Birds fly. Bats fly. Flies fly. Rhinos fly. NO THEY DON'T! (At that point, a bedraggled purple rhino, complete with tiny pink wings strapped to his huge body, says, "Great. NOW you tell me.") The cartoonish animals will delight preschoolers, and the bold, black type encourages even the youngest children to attempt reading. Moving quickly through various modes of transportation, Who Hops? finishes with the question, "Who hops and flies and slithers and swims and crawls?" "Why, you do, of course!" Kids are sure to giddily shout out answers, and they may learn a few things about the flying, leaping animal kingdom through their giggles. (Ages 2 to 6) --Aimee Damman

From Publishers Weekly
More animals turn up in Who Hoots? and Who Hops?, converted from picture books by Katie Davis. Neon-bright colors make the creatures stand out. A question ("Who hoots?") triggers a series of correct statements, one per page ("Dogs don't hoot"). A wrong answer ("Owls don't hoot") signals the turning point and sets the stage for an ecological primer ("Yes they do! Owls have swively necks and stay up all night, and they definitely hoot!").

A Family Favorite,
By
This review is from: Who Hops? (Hardcover)
I loved using "Who Hops" in my first grade classroom where the children delighted at the silly pictures and the simple text was perfect for their emerging reading skills. Now that I am a mother of a one year old I have fallen in love with this book all over again. My little guy thrills at the bold bright illustrations and the text is fast paced enough to hold his attention through several readings. This book is an all time favorite of mine and a must for any little person's library!

Excellent Book. A MUST HAVE for kids.,
By
This review is from: Who Hops? (Hardcover)
This is a MUST HAVE book for any toddler. The colors are bright and the illustrations are funny. This alone keeps my son's attention. The repitions make it easy for my son to remember and help me "read" the book. Sometimes we play this as a game at the park. My son will start 'hopping' like a bunny and I'll tell him to hop like a kangaroo, horse and fish. He'll stop and say "nooooo, fish hop". I think it's fun and so does he.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read Aloud for a 2 Year Old,
This review is from: Who Hops? (Paperback)
Who Hops is a great read aloud because of the repetition and predictable text. It is also a humor that a child understands. Very cute book!
