A "body-movement multisensory inventive language poem" intended for young children, Singily Skipping Along is playful and imaginative, asking the reader to pretend to be a tree, a whale, a spider, a cloud, and to find the many delightful ways they can move their bodies. The text uses some predictable and cumulative patterns but also includes joyful surprise patterns--and a healthy dose of nonsense--to stimulate children's imaginations. Deanne Fitzpatrick's hooked-rug illustrations bring freedom and texture to the verse, and the result is a tactile and joyful classic Fitch book.
