Review\nConnect and Play!\nThis is a fantastic introduction to the joy of movement and a really fun way for adults and children to connect and PLAY together.\n— The Lifestyle Psychiatrist (Dr. Charlotte Marriott)\nGreat Book For The Classroom!\nMy class absolutely loved this book! There is a pleasing rhythm and the story moves along at an appropriate pace, without rushing. Each scene progresses realistically and flows effectively. I love how this book give kids ideas about they can have fun with physical activity and a gentle, subtle nudge about the issues of too much screen time without preaching.\n— Elementary Educator - Veronica Fox\n5 Star Review - "A fun way of keeping childing moving in a world of screens. Highly recommended!"\nLike many concerned adults in the world, I worry about the amount of time children spend looking at screens. So, a book of this nature, which is designed to 'encourage children and their parents to move more, sit less and decrease screen time', is very welcome on my child's bookshelf.\nIn this clearly written and, as a result, very accessible picture book, the author attempts—very successfully, I might add—to use the movement of animals to inspire physical activity. I felt this was a rather original way of encouraging young children to get up and move.\nAll in all, this is perfect for any parent who's sick of children spending too much time staring at a screen. The story, filled with owls, elephants, bears and even crabs, will (hopefully) have them up and moving in no time at all. So, if you want your child to try doing the Crab Walk, the Crane Pose or the Monkey Climb, grab a copy now. It'll help to keep them fit, and they'll have fun too!\n— A 'Wishing Shelf' Book Review\n'My First Animal Moves' by Darryl Edwards is a picture and activity book that encourages both parents and children to learn about animals through movement and play.\nThe illustrations are bright and colorful, with funny quips from Lola the dog as Nathan learns the new actions in Animal Moves land.\nThere's an enthusiasm throughout that I think could encourage young readers to get excited and try all of the different moves as their parents or a teacher reads to them. Filled with lots of basic movements that are well described, I think that most children would be able to carry out each animal move with little difficulty.\nA great concept and interesting new way to get children moving.\n— Books We Love, LoveReading4Kids (The UK's Leading Book Recommendation Websites)\nNathan loves to play, but he loves his video games more.\nCan a trip to Animal Moves land convince him there's more fun outdoors? Best-selling author and speaker Darryl Edwards has created this fun adventure inspired by his passion for encouraging kids to move in an ever-increasing sedentary environment.
