This simple, interactive look at different animals and the way they move will help children shake off the wiggles before they settle down to sleep.

Acclaimed author-illustrator John Butler encourages readers to join the fun with animals around the world, imitating the way they move, from leaping like a frog to winking like an owl. The lavish illustrations feature adorable animals in their natural surroundings.

The text asks evocative questions, encouraging children to complete simple movements that transition gently from energetic action to quieter, relaxation, just in time for bed."Soft, dreamy illustrations in orangy browns set against pastel backgrounds depict a variety of cuddly creatures in action.
