适读人群 :4-8岁 Whimsical, colorful illustrations and simple text take readers into a world of movements and invites youngsters to mimic animal actions.

内容简介
What does an elephant do? It stomps its foot. Can you? From the creator of such beloved classics as The Grouchy Ladybug and The Mixed-Up Chameleon comes this interactive story that invites kids to imitate animal movements. Watching giraffes bend their necks or monkeys wave their arms is fun, but nothing could be better than joining in. From their heads down to their toes, kids will be wriggling, jiggling, and giggling as they try to keep up with these animals!Alligators wiggle, elephants stop, gorillas thump, and giraffes bend. Can you do it? ' I can do it!' is the confidence-building message of this fun-filled interactive picture book. A variety of familiar animals invite young children to copy their antics, and as they play, they will learn such important skills as careful listening, focusing attention, and following instructions. Just as alphabet books introduce the very young child to letters and simple words, From Head to Toe introduces the basic body parts and simple body movements. And in the same way that children progress from understanding simple words to reading and writing sentences and stories, so they will progress from simple body movements to dancing, gymnastics, and other sports and activities, with confidence and pleasure.
作者简介
Eric Carle is the author and illustrator of more than seventy books for children, many of them bestsellers. Born in Syracuse, New York, he moved to Germany with his parents when he was six years old. He studied at the Academy of Graphic Arts in Stuttgart before returning to the United States, where he worked as a graphic designer for The New York Times and later as art director for an international advertising agency. His first two books, 1,2,3 to the Zoo and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, gained him immediate international recognition. The latter title, now considered a modern classic, has sold more than 30 million copies and has been translated into forty-eight languages. Eric Carle and his wife, Barbara, divide their time between the mountains of North Carolina and the Florida Keys.
艾瑞·卡尔,1929年出生于纽约,1935年随父母返德国定居。艾瑞·卡尔讨厌德国式的教育,教育下的学校生活及时代的战乱,让他的少年时光并不快乐。战后,从小就展露绘画天分且向往自由浪漫的艾瑞·卡尔,在中学绘画老师的推荐及母亲的鼓励下,进入斯图加特艺术学院学习了四年的商业设计,一毕业即在时尚杂志担任艺术总监。1952年,艾瑞·卡尔再次踏上他要实现梦想的土地——美国。因缘巧合,艾瑞·卡尔得到李欧·李奥尼的赏识和推荐,顺利开始他在《纽约时报》的工作,发挥美术兼广告设计的长才。1960年成立了个人工作室,辛勤工作之外,他更渴望蜕变、渴望创作!
1967年,艾瑞·卡尔首次有机会为孩子的书配上插画,这次充满乐趣、大胆发挥创意的过程,让他感觉畅快淋漓,也引领他日后走向为儿童创作图画书的道路。他年近40才开始创作图画书,迄今为止,已经创作了《棕色的熊、棕色的熊,你在看什么?》、《好饿的毛毛虫》、《海马先生》、《爸爸,我要月亮》等70多本色彩缤纷、富含想象力的拼贴画风格的图画书,被翻译成了多种语言,小读者遍布世界各地,并荣获多项世界著名儿童图画书奖。他笔下那条著名的毛毛虫,已被翻译成近50种语言版本,销量突破3300万,风行世界40余年。
精彩书评
Animals and multiethnic children illustrate various body movements on large, double-page spreads. A giraffe bends its neck, a monkey waves its arms, etc. 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. There is no story rather the book is an invitation to get everyone moving. A nice addition to a toddler storytime, but it may get lost as it's cataloged in 613.7.
