(3) PS Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. This board book edition is well suited to a toddler audience. Simple text introduces listeners to examples of animal locomotion ("A blue whale dives deep, deep, deep...and swims below the ocean waves. An armadillo swims across a stream...") while serving as an invitation to play. Jenkins's cut-paper collage illustrations of animals slithering, diving, and leaping across clean white pages are visually engaging.
