by Catherine Anderson-Barnes (Author)

"Moving Through the Alphabet an Animal's Way A to Z" is a children's book about the important role physical activity plays in a healthy body. Children are introduced to the ABC's through an assortment of animals from around the world, and each animal is paired with a set of "fun facts" and a physical activity that is common to the animal. As they flip from page to page, children are sure to be fascinated by each of the whimsical animals, amazed by the fun facts, and entertained as they physically act out the unique animal characteristics. Children need a variety of physical stimulation and enjoy exercises that are stimulating and enjoyable, and the more they get pleasure out of physical activity now, the more likely they are to continue to be physically active throughout their lives. This is the ideal book for parents and teachers to educate children on the benefits of physical activity while also providing several additional learning opportunities such as animal identification, color and alphabet recognition, and fun facts. An added "Parent Piece" is included in the book to aid adults in navigating and promoting children's physical activity. Physical activity is essential in optimizing child development, so..."Go Wild" moving through this book page by page and movement by movement!
