I love how the books repeat and you learn some fun reading in them. These type of books have been a favorite at our house for some time. I picked this book because it is a current favorite of my youngest. Check out the gross motor that we did with the book.

This gives a fun all over work out for the kids and I encourage you to do it with you kids as well! In the short time we did this everyone was breathing hard and having a great time.

    1. We did this for about 30 minutes. I did it with them after the first round through for pictures. It was a great workout for them and me!
