Simple text, also printed in bold, clear type, describes what's happening on each page and shows the parallels between animal and machine: "a badger and an excavator claw and scoop out holes," reads one page. Preschoolers may not recognize all the words in this Canadian import; a fire truck is called a "pumper truck" here. From Booklist PreS. All rights reserved. A giraffe and a cherry picker reach into a tree under the word "Stretch," for example. But the bright, saturated watercolor pictures will make both the concepts and the words clear, and a sprightly little gnome appearing on each page adds the fun of a
Stretch! Fly! Dive!What are two things that small children love? Animals and big machines, of course. In this energetic board book, the two are combined to show how the actions of seven animals mirror those of seven mighty machines.With a single word to indicate the action, the illustrations show animals like a whale diving in the ocean while on the opposite page, a submarine does the same; a badger digs in the dirt, mimicking an excavator, and an elephant squirts water just like a pumper truck.To add to the fun, a small elf-like creature appears on every spread, giving toddlers

Storywraps said Yes we can says the animals!. This book, full of fun animals, mighty machines, and action words will delight any young reader. Each animal demonstrates that it can do exactly what a machine can do. Whales dive and move underwater just like a submerged submarine can do, a giraffe and cherry picker work side by side to get a job done, and a powerful male lion emulates the sound of a souped-up car with his mighty roar, just to name a few. The idea is not like the song"anything you can do I can do better" but rather I can do it too and we can have fun doing it together.The illustrations are whimsical and playful and on each page ther
