Very cute, but wouldn't work as well for a storytime since it's clearly intended to be read by a parent/guardian to the child. ( )

Lovely illustrations - text reminds me of Runaway Bunny ( )

For lapsit story time, encourage grown-ups to interact with their babies by making a motion or sound for each animal, then cuddling. For example, wiggle your nose or touch baby's nose for the bunny, bounce and kick like the kangaroo, face outward and look around the room like the lizard, howl like the wolf, meow like the kitten, oink like the pig.

For toddler story time, encourage the children to make these motions or sounds themselves, or give them a stuffed animal to cuddle.

A celebration of mothers and babies with soothing illustrations that harken back to simpler times.
