A "body movement multi-sensory inventive language poem" intended for
children ages 2 to 5, Singily Skipping Along is playful and
imaginative, asking the reader to pretend to be a tree, a whale, a
spider, a cloud, and to find the many delightful ways they can move
their bodies. The text uses some predictable and cumulative patterns but
also includes joyful surprise patterns--and a healthy dose of
nonsense--to stimulate children's imaginations. Deanne Fitzpatrick's
hooked rug illustrations bring freedom and texture to the verse, and the
result is a tactile and joyful classic Fitch book.
