Bookroo's summary

Explore the fascinating world of animal movement, where creatures like the jumping spider dance and float, and the roadrunner prefers running to flying. With vibrant illustrations, this playful journey invites young readers to uncover the unique ways animals get around. What secrets of motion will you discover?

From the publisher

Animals move! Follow them as they swing, dance, float, leap, and slide from page to page, then learn why these animals move the way they do, from the jumping spider who dances to impress and then floats away on a thread of silk, to the roadrunner who flies, but not too far, and would rather run to catch its prey.

Illustrated in eye-popping cut- and torn-paper collages by Caldecott Honor artist Steve Jenkins, Move! is a playful introduction to motion in the animal kingdom that invites young readers to guess some of the unusual ways that animals get around.

Action is the name of the game, so Move!
