<p> <b><i>Slosh from the big one into the small. Whooshing and slooshing--your own waterfall.</i></b> </p><p> When young children observe the natural world, what do they see? Very often, it's an inspiration for creative play. As in Nora Hilb's previous book, <i>Wiggle Giggle Tickle Train</i>, 13 vibrant spreads show how children use the world around them to come up with ideas for play. Striking real-life photographs of waterfalls, worms, and wintry roads are juxtaposed with lively drawings to reveal a child's own inventive interpretation. Short bursts of action-packed poetry encourage preschoolers to identify patterning in text and the sounds associated with ideas. </p><p> The sight of a beautiful rainbow is reflected in multihued crayons as two children create their own masterpieces. The sound of noisy geese flying south sets the stage for a concert with bugle and horn. And imitating a frog leads to a game of jumping over logs. </p><p> While developing language skills, kids can create their own imaginative play from what they see in nature. </p>

Fun, imaginative book with gorgeous photographs and illustrations
This is a cute picture book, with gorgeous illustrations, that encourages children to get outside and explore nature, and to use their imaginations. I read this book to my neighbor's little girl, who is 3 years old, and she loved it all, the pictures and illustrations, and also the rhyming text. I think that's what kept her attention the most. I recommend this book to those with preschool age kids, and give it 4/5 stars. I received a copy of this book free of charge in exchange for my honest opinion. Read more
