This book
features a variety of animals jumping. It opens horizontally and the reader is
presented with an animal such as a frog, a kitten, a fish, a dog, a chicken, a
rabbit, and more. When the reader turns the page they see that animal jumping, with
a variety of presentations of the word “Boing”. There are simple illustrations
of each animal and a variety for the lettering of the word boing.
My 1-year-old
adored this book and fell over laughing. She has never laughed like this at a book
before. I read it out loud to her and she enjoyed seeing each creature jump and
hearing the word boing acted out different ways. I had to keep tracking it down to complete this review, as she carried it off! I think this could be used by a
preschool teacher as a fun opener for a lesson about jumping or creatures that
jump.
