Charming! This is a really fun book to read aloud. It’s also amusing, hilarious in spots.

This book is awesome for children who are learning about animals and simple forms of what they do. Each page has an animal that hops and then will have one page that has an animal that doesn't hop but on the next page explains why it doesn't hop and what it does.

I feel like such a stick in the mud for giving this otherwise charming book such a low score when almost everyone else gives it 5 stars.
