In Shake, Wiggle & Roll, babies and toddlers will be moving and grooving with playful pups as they show off favorite doggie moves, from chomping and chewing to jumping and leaping. With lively images from the lens of expert animal photographer Carli Davidson, this sturdy book is perfect for the very youngest readers—and fun for the whole family.
(synopsis from Goodreads)
One word: underwhelming.
I love dogs, but this is a really thin offering. Almost half of the pages are taken up with portraits of the dogs used, so the actual book is really short. And the "wag" page just confused me. What am I looking at? A dog with two rear ends?
The photographs aren't even that interesting. Toddlers and babies might like this one, but only because they're too young to realize there are so many better books out there.
