This Is the Way
by Charles Fuge
Charles Fuge has done it again! The celebrated author and illustrator (I Know a Rhino, Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball, and many others) invites kids on an imaginative journey with a little boy and some friendly animals. The trip’s full of rhythm, rhyme, and color—perfect for reading aloud and gazing at again and again.
Every page is bright with different hues, and each almost-musical refrain introduces a different animal, followed by the boy imitating that particular creature. He scurries like the mouse (“skittle, skittle, skuttle”); hurries like the ladybug (“beetle, battle, buttle”); and creeps like the anteater (“prod, snuffle, poke!”). Children will happily chime in, get moving, and start thinking about what other animals do too!
A Main Selection of the Children’s Book of the Month Club.
