Off We Go!

by Beverley Abramson

Overview

The natural state of toddlers and young children is motion, and Beverley Abramson’s splendid photographs are an appreciation of the many ways in which we can move. Children spin and whirl, run, jump, and climb through the seasons in photographs that beg for discussion and storytelling.

Whether it is flying a kite or kicking a ball, skipping on the grass or riding a tricycle, Beverley Abramson has captured kids experiencing the sheer pleasure of exploring the world through movement. Best of all, it is an invitation to get children to discover the fun of physical play.

Editorial Reviews

PreS-Through exuberant, full-page color photos, this book shows children of varying ethnicities engaged in a range of physical activities, from flying a kite to jumping into a pile of leaves. The energetic pictures even capture children in midair. Each right-hand page has a short phrase that rhymes with the word or phrase opposite: "Fling it/Swing it." Preschoolers will enjoy the visuals and the rhymes, and they might be inspired to create captions for pictures of themselves similarly engaged. A good purchase where very simple text is required.-Lynda Ritterman, Atco Elementary School, Waterford, NJ Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
