Move!- Robin Page

Move! is a children's picture book, written by Robin Page. This book focuses on different action verbs (move, jump, fly, hop) This book not only focuses on action verbs, but the students can actually stand up out of their chair and act out these verbs! This would be a nice way to start the day, or during a transition time.

Is this a good story?
 Yes, I really enjoy this story becasue it is a great book for teaching action verbs. It also allows students to get out of there seats and be active. My group used this book for our service learning projecting when talking about staying active.

 Yes, when I was able to do the actions in this book in class, it made me feel like I was in the book.

What did the author want to tell me in the story?
 She wanted to teacher students about action verbs, but also get students out of their seats, and engaging in the words.

Are the illustrations authentic? 
 Yes, the illustration are very authentic, they featured a diverse group of students dancing and doing the actions with the words.
