Jump by Tatsuhide Matsuoka (Children's, Picture book, Board Book, 10E/10E)

Jumping kitty!
 April 2019, Gecko Press, Board Book, Review copy

Summary from Gecko Press
A frog jumps. Boing! A kitten jumps. Boi-ing!
A dog jumps. Boiyyyyyyoiingg!
A grasshopper jumps, a rabbit jumps, then a snail . . .
uhm, maybe not.
Mother and chick jump together, a fish jumps out of the water, and last comes a little girl to join the fun…
I jump too—BOING!
Nayu's thoughts
Take a moment to look at the cover. See how cute the cat is? Every single page is like that! With all manner of animals jumping with various levels of success each page made me smile in delight. Who would have thought a single word could elicit great amusement! The expression on the animals' faces are priceless. There is a real sense of movement for each animal (even the snail!), the colour palette is pleasing and the sturdy book will withstand little hands for a good while. Perfect for every readers' bookshelf!
