Plus there are several pages of extension ideas for curriculum and art projects as well as resources on the web and elsewhere.Please note: The board book edition is 28 pages. It includes suggestions for children to do body movements as the text is read. It does not include additional information about the animals, rainforests, and the score of the song as is in the hardback and paperback editions.
