Ready, Set, Skip!

Ready, Set, Skip! by Jane O'Connor, illustrated by Ann James is geared towards children ages four and up. I think this book is fun and creative for young kids to read. It is about a little girl showing that she can do many locomotor skills like running, twirling, skating, but she the one she cannot do is skip. Her mother helps teach her to skip. I think this book would be great for parents and teachers to read when discussing new skills as well as keeping courage and determination when learning and perfecting new skills and tasks.
