JUMP LIKE A FROG!
by Kate Burns
Jump Like A Frog! (12 pp.; $6.95; Aug.; 1-899607-35-8): Hiding behind folding flaps that lift up, down, and sideways are extraordinary animals in dazzling colors. Orangutans, flamingos, frogs, seals, and penguins swing, hop, and cavort through these pages, while the book invites readers to join in and imitate them. Exhortations to stand on one leg, as a flamingo does, or swing from a parent’s hand, as the orangutan does, make this a book best read any hour but bedtime. The illustrations, even for the cold-weather penguin, are cheerful and south-of-the-border bright. (Lift-the-flap. 2-5)
