Reviews for From Head to Toe

Carle (Little Cloud, 1996, etc.) takes as his premise that animals don't have to go to the gym - their natural movements give them plenty of exercise. I am a giraffe and I bend my neck. Can you do it? asks the animal of the child. I can do it! is the invariable reply. If readers participate in the gestures shown on every page, they'll get something of a work-out, for the analogies are good: foot-stomping elephants, clapping seals, and shoulder-hunching buffalo are enticingly imitatable. The book's large size and bold, brightly colored animals make it ideal for story hours. Unusual for Carle - and highlighted by the emphasis on action - is the stiffness of the collages: Neither children nor animals convey a sense of motion, but appear locked into place. Linda Lowery's Twist With a Burger, Jitter With a Bug (1995) inspires similar participation, but is a more rhythmic and vivacious book. (Kirkus Reviews)
