About this deal

This was a gift from a friend. Just got around to listening to the cd that came with it and reading the text. Oh so cute! This will be a lot of fun at storytime.

Through the jungle, the children see all different types of animals and are learning their actions, for example a child sees a leopard and learns how to leap. Age 0-3 years Set in an Indian rainforest, Animal Boogie is a colourful picturebook with a tuneful rhyme which you can read aloud to your child, sing together and even dance! There is lots to talk about in the colourful illustrations, including playing spot the animals hiding in the jungle.Barefoot Books is a pretty remarkable children's press for many reasons related to sustainability and manufacturing standards. They also have a firm commitment to inclusive books that showcase human diversity (including visible forms of disability). The Barefoot Singalong series is particularly special.

School. Preschool. Daycare. Home. Babysitting. Storytimes. Anywhere there’s a group of little ones who need to MOVE, or have a “brain break”, or have a little freedom to be silly, The Animal Boogie will be a winner. WHAT it’s about I really enjoyed reading this story and rate it 5* because it is extremely active and allows children to join in by singing and dancing when the story is being told. I also enjoyed reading this story because when the story is being read to the children, clues are given before the animal is identified, such as “With a swingy swing here and a swingy swing there”. This therefore allows predictions to be made before the animal is revealed and as the animals are well known, this should be achievable. The capital letters when the animal is revealed allows the reader to differ their voice to interest the children and for them to understand this is an important part of the story. Barefoot Books has created an animated version of each book in this series (they come on the CD, but are also online and linked below). Your child can watch these first if that kind of conditioning helps your kids to be more interested in the books (as it does mine). This bright, colorful adaptation, set in the jungles of India, is based on the nursery song "Down in the Jungle" (sometimes called "Jungle Boogie"). It is the publisher's bestselling title, and it's easy to see why. Kids just love it.The CD which is included with the book offers the children a different way to listen to the story. The video of this story can also be found on YouTube which again offers children a different way to watch and listen to the story which would excite children. The CD and the video therefore can support children with English as an Additional Language as they can visually see what is happening and hopefully will be able to begin to understand words in English. Let your early reader “read” the print version of The Animal Boogie along with the YouTube video! This is a fabulous way to build a new reader’s confidence and communicate the critical message that reading is fun! Animal Boogie features a simple, repeating song with a great beat. Each verse there is a new jungle animal spied by a different child. That animal is performing an action, which the reader is meant to copy. This is great for working on what ABA and occupational therapists call "gross motor imitation." The book shows these actions: shake (bear), swing (monkey), stomp (elephant), flap (bird), leap (leopard), slither (snake), and sway (people).

Talk about the pictures, what can children see? Can they spot the bear, monkey, elephant and other creatures hiding in the jungle? Read or sing the rhyme to your child. Children will enjoy hearing it more than once, lots of times in fact! The more often you share the book, the more familiar children will become with the words in the rhyme; you can encourage them to join in as you read or sing. As they become familiar with the book children will notice more in the illustrations too. Once you both know the rhyme well you can have fun saying it together even at times when you don’t have the book, for example at bathtime or during a car journey. Recognize this book? This Barefoot Books classic songbook has been around for over 20 years and has sold over 2 million copies worldwide! WHO will love it Because your Book Buddy here is a child at heart, I’d like to say that EVERYBODY will love The Animal Boogie!! I know that’s not true, though, so realistically I will say that many young kids and most teachers of young kids will really enjoy singing, dancing, and reading this book together. It’s a catchy tune, easy to learn, fun to dance along with your kid(s), and you just can’t beat the colorful, engaging pictures! WHERE to share it
