The repetitive text has the animal stating the movement and asking, “Can you do it?” Each child responds, “I can do it!” Carle’s vivid cut-paper collages are striking and invite sharing individually or with a group. A giraffe bends its neck, a monkey waves its arms, etc.
“PreS - Animals and multiethnic children illustrate various body movements on large, double-page spreads. – by Michele Landberg, Parenting, May, 1997 This upbeat book is designed to get kids moving-learning names of body parts and rejoicing in their own competence.” “In brilliantly colored collages, a parade of animals challenges children to imitate simple physical actions. Just as alphabet books introduce letters and simple words, From Head to Toe introduces the basic body parts and simple body movements – the ABC’s of dancing, gymnastics, and other sports activities. As young children copy the antics of Eric Carle’s animals, they’ll learn such important skills as careful listening, focusing attention, and following instructions. “I can do it!” is the confidence-building message of this book.
