Singily Skipping Along

A ?body-movement multisensory inventive language poem? intended for young children, Singily Skipping Along is playful and imaginative, asking the reader to pretend to be a tree, a whale, a spider, a cloud, and to find the many delightful ways they can move their bodies.
   The text uses some predictable and cumulative patterns but also includes joyful surprise patterns?and a healthy dose of nonsense?to stimulate children?s imaginations. Deanne Fitzpatrick?s hooked-rug illustrations bring freedom and texture to the verse, and the result is a tactile and joyful classic Fitch book.
