Overview
Playful and jubilant, Michael Rosen’s read-aloud delight captures the can’t-sit-still spirit of children with energy to burn. This bunny is so wriggly! Around and around, on the ground, it waves its feet and drums out a beat. It just can’t stop! But, phew—it’s tiring being this wriggly! Melding an exuberant text by rhyming master Michael Rosen with bold and bouncing illustrations from Robert Starling, this third in a series exploring early childhood emotions is a go-to book to share with little ones. The author’s introductory note to grown-ups invites readers to use I Am Wriggly as a springboard for interactive play.

Reviews
In this fourth tale in his I Am series, Rosen celebrates a child’s seemingly boundless zest for life. . . . Starling’s cheery, bright illustrations of a big-eyed bunny in motion, set against plain backdrops, are, once more, engaging and silly—a perfect match for the brief yet exuberant text. Young readers with wriggles to burn will identify and come up with their own ways to express themselves. An enthusiastic romp certain to please the endlessly energetic. —Kirkus Reviews From start to finish, the snappy text and large bold art effortlessly facilitate audience participation through prompts for physical activity and verbal engagement. A smart choice for a wriggly toddler storytime or for any time when releasing some extra wriggles might lead to better selfawareness and an expanded way to appreciate books. —The Horn Book
