Publisher Description
Can you stretch to the ceiling? Can you stretch to the floor? You can stretch with a whisper, you can stretch with a roar! Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin give new meaning to the yoga pose downward facing dog as publishing’s most energetic pooch explores the many, many ways a kid can get limber. More than simple toe touching, this pup stretches to ride a breeze, grab a snack from a tree, catch a wave. His bubble gum even gets in on the stretching action. POP! And he reminds us not to forget that we also need to stretch our imaginations (recognize that statue, anyone?). This interactive, energetic rhyming text will also help parents stretch out reading time with their youngsters.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The highly kinetic canine hero of Wiggle and Bounce is back, this time showing off some yoga-style stretches and more: "Can you stretch to the ceiling? Can you stretch to the floor?" he asks, the words themselves stretching to fit over the rump of an elephant who is showing off his best downward-facing dog pose, as is the ebullient host. Later, he and a pudgy dog friend stretch together, standing on two exercise balls and, on another spread, he imagines: "If I were an astronaut, I'd stretch in outer space." The opposite of a bedtime book, it seems more suited to preceding some afternoon play. Ages 3 6.
