Illustrated by
Brita Granstrom.
The rhythm of the rhyming text falters occasionally, but the illustrations don't quit. Sunny watercolors of round toddlers and their pets (real and stuffed) encourage active play--stretching backs, wriggling shoulders, bending knees, and more. The simple pastel-colored backgrounds are especially age-appropriate and help spotlight the action.
