    It's time to play let's pretend--and walk like the animals! Show how well you can mimic our friends in the wild, five different creatures are hiding behind the flaps, all surrounded by their natural environments. Who is waddling by the pond? Golden-yellow ducks are passing by a blue pond, ringed by lime-green frogs, a flowery garland, and a tropical sky. Who is nibbling at the leaves--well, only a giraffe that tall! Streeeeeetch that neck as far as you can. And right near the koalas, bouncing up and down, is a kangaroo with a little baby tucked tightly in her pouch. Hens peck in the yard, near smaller fuzzy chicks, and in the branches, not too far from a butterfly, a slithering snake unfolds and wraps itself around them. Children will have tons of fun twisting and stretching and bending their bodies--while they learn animal facts and names and enjoy reading! 10 pages (all in color), 7 3/8 x 7 3/8.
