Duuuuuuude I absolutely love this, and want to give it 5 stars, but WHY DID THIS BEAUTIFUL BOOK HAVE TO ADD IN THE 'I'M A DONKEY AND I KICK MY LEGS. CAN YOU DO IT?' FUCK YOU, ERIC CARLE. I'VE ALREADY BEEN BEATEN UP IN STORYTIME, I'M NOT GETTING BEATEN UP AGAIN.On a more reasonable note, I will just paperclip that page so it is never seen by children's eyes during storytime. Because the book is great, with good interactive movement and different animals doing different things.

But damn you, donkey. Anyone who reads a lot of Eric Carle's books cannot fail to notice that there is a hierarchy of things that turn Carle on:1. Carle obviously adores animals.2.
Carle loves texture and pattern.3. His hair is somewhat less pleasing than his fabricsAnd then somewhere, way, way down at the bottom of the hierarchy comes 'Human face and figure.'
It is always jarring to me to compare his beautifully articulated animals that practically roar and pop off the page with his Anyone who reads a lot of Eric Carle's books cannot fail to notice that there is a hierarchy of things that turn Carle on:1.

His hair is somewhat less pleasing than his fabricsAnd then somewhere, way, way down at the bottom of the hierarchy comes 'Human face and figure.' It is always jarring to me to compare his beautifully articulated animals that practically roar and pop off the page with his blocky, oddly proportioned human bodies and his primitive human faces.But it is especially jarring in From Head to Toe, in which every page pairs an animal with a human figure.
Carle's kicking donkey bursts with so much muscular energy that the reader almost wants to duck to avoid a hoof to the head; and the child that accompanies the donkey is all rectangles - not a muscle, or even a curve, in sight here. It's hard to integrate these illustrations visually - how can the artist who so readily evokes the arching of a cat or the stomping of an elephant be the same artist who foists upon us these blocky, unconvincing children?Having said that, the book is fun to get down on the floor and act out with a toddler - especially fun in bad weather when you've run out of indoor activities and just need to move!

Each time a child is able to copy the animal they say with joy, “I can do it!”Professional Recommendation/Review #1:Malcolm (BookHive)This is a participatory book by renowned children’s book author Eric Carle. Children can bend their necks and turn their heads, and do other motions throughout the picture book.
This book can also uplift a child’s self-esteem and act as a means of motivation. Every time the narrator asks children to mimic an animal’s movement, the characters boldly answer “I can do it!” and a child is seen on each page doing the movement. This will book can forge an interactive relationship between storyteller and their audience.
It is a must read for young children.Professional Recommendation/Review #2:HarperCollinsCan you turn your head like a penguin? Raise your shoulders like a buffalo? Thump your chest like a gorilla?
Carle's boldly colored collages on white backgrounds exaggerate each animal's movements and lend this 'animal-aerobics' approach to exercise visual as well as physical fun.Response to Two Professional Reviews: The professional reviews both see this book as a positive motivator for young children as well as a way to get them involved in fun movements or exercises. They both touch on the classic Eric Carle collages. Lastly, both reviews discuss the animal theme, which along with each of the other repetitive themes in the book, can be used as a teaching tool.Evaluation of Literary Elements:This book is perfect for a young audience due to its repetitive and predictable nature. The brightly colored pictures against the white background create a fun vibrant image.
Through these pictures and words, children can mimic the animals and learn these fun movements just like the children from the book.Consideration of Instructional Application:This book can be used to teach children to take risks and (as Malcolm said) promote self-esteem. Teachers can have students stand and teach the class a movement.
It can even be used to inspire tissue paper collages in an art project.

Some of the pictures are more fun than others. My son especially like the gorilla, the donkey(kicking behind him), and the elephant (stomping). I can see this book used successfully with large groups and small. It's a great book for moving around and for learning body part vocabulary and some verbs.Eric Carle is an American designer, illustrator, and writer of children's books.

I was definitely fooled by the cover in seeing the blue gorilla because I thought that it was going to be solely about animals. Little did I know that this book encourages movement in children with the help of animals. If you're looking for a way to assist your young child in moving around more or becoming more flexible I would definitely recommend this book.The various movements and motions had me wanting to attempt various twist and turns! I loved that the text overall moves the child in the direction of proving that they, like the animals, are capable of being just as flexible as the animals they see from day to day. I think this is great read aloud material and something parents/guardians should think about doing with their little ones. The artwork was great as always and in the amazing style of Eric Carle.
I did like this book because children love to read or listen to a book that has body movement. The pictures are great, and they are easy for children to copy the movements. They are able to see different animals and how they move. During reading time we can talk about animals, the different movements, and colors.I think children would respond with excitement to this book. While reading this book, I would read it first. Then, I would demonstrate the movement the animals do.

(Can you do it? I can do it!). Eric Carle delivers another imaginative reading book to introduce the different parts of the body to children. The book allows creativity amongst children, whilst pointing at the various body parts I am a camel and I bend my knees. Can you do it?
The main emphasis of the book is about movement and I can see it being used in initial warm up exercises in lower key stage one P.E lessons. The book will engage children because of its interactive nature of the story. Eric Carle delivers another imaginative reading book to introduce the different parts of the body to children.
