Wiggle, Wobble, Walk! by Mike Dumbleton. Illus. by Sarah Boese

Wiggle, Wobble, Walk! is a charming board book to share with babies and toddlers. Four very appealing babies gently flow through the stages of growth and movement from the early waving of legs, to sitting up, crawling, standing, walking, exploring and finally running.

Author Mike Dumbleton has skilfully used rhyming words to show the many features of moving - including bending, wiggling, slithering as well as toppled, explore, climb and run. The diverse images of the lively, active babies and toddlers are beautifully drawn by illustrator Sarah Boese in soft pastel colours. Each character has a delightfully expressive face that visibly shows their joy in moving.

A wonderful book to read and enjoy with the littlest of readers.
