What is Cartwheels in the Kitchen about?

What happens when animals start moving in the most unexpected ways? Bears tumble through cartwheels, penguins make a tremendous din, cows pedal bicycles and other lively creatures leap, spin and wobble into action. With each page bringing a new surprise, toddlers can join in by copying the animals’ movements and sounds. David Melling’s playful picture book celebrates energy, imagination and the simple joy of being active, making it a lively read-aloud for very young children.
