Toddlers love to wiggle. Make wiggly time fun for everyone!
Feeling giggly-squiggly? It's wiggly time!" Wiggly Time uses energetic body and word play to channel young children's energy and encourage them to get moving—and then help them transition to quiet time. Toddlers learn best through movement, and little ones need lots of physical activity every day. "Ahhhhh, that was fun . . . and wiggly time's all done."
Wiggly Time taps into toddlers' inherent love of play and silliness, and the ideas can be used for a fun break, at transition times, or anytime. If a child has to wait five more minutes, call out some of the book's moves: "Dance like a robot, beep, bop, boop. Walk like a dinosaur, stomp, clomp, BOOM. " Try "Sun's out, let's melt" to encourage floor time and relaxation.
Wiggly Time also includes helpful tips for parents, teachers, and caregivers about making movement fun and part of their everyday routine.

Hay un niño nuevo en el colegio de Archibaldo. Sam es diferente a los demás, juega a juegos distintos y dice cosas sorprendentes. ¿Será fastidioso no ser igual a los otros? Archibaldo lo descubrirá… Sam no sabe jugar al pillapilla ni a muchos otros juegos populares entre los niños. Él observa el cielo y descubre a un dragón chino. Piensa que la peonza de Archibaldo parece un ciclón formidable? Archibaldo está un poco desconcertado con las cosas tan raras que dice Sam. Un día en el parque, Archibaldo mira a su alrededor y comprende que cada árbol es único y que, justamente por ello, el lugar resulta maravilloso. Así, poco a poco, Sam y él se hacen muy amigos y comparten el tiempo y las diferencias. Una nueva entrega de la saga de Archibaldo (Mi amor, Un amor de hermanita, Lo que papá me ha dicho…) que enseña de una forma poética y tierna que la diversidad hace la vida más rica e interesante. Una lección importante que los padres y profesores deben inculcar a los pequeños, mostrándoles que el rechazo y los prejuicios hacia lo que no conocen y lo que no es igual a uno, no sirven para crecer y ser mejores personas sino todo lo contrario. La apertura, la tolerancia y la aceptación, en cambio, hacen que el lugar que está dentro de cada uno de nosotros sea realmente maravilloso.
Rasca tu cabeza, pasa por el pelo y las orejas. Ahora tu nariz toca y saca la lengua de tu boca. Abre y cierra esos ojos. ¿Puedes poner cara de enojo?

Even little children can make a positive impact on the environment. Jane Goodall has dedicated her life to studying chimpanzees, and realized that sometimes people hurt the places where animals have always lived. She began to teach others how we can enjoy nature while also making sure that the homes of animals aren’t suffering.
Kids will come away from this book with questions about what animal habitats they can care for in their own community, and how conservation work makes sure all people and animals have a healthy home.
