Doreen Cronin's book Stretch is filled with rhymes and stretches. Simply a lot of fun and it gets children moving. For this reason, this book would be a good in a read aloud situation. It will help keep children focused. With recent concerns about American health issues, this is a good book to show children physical activity is enjoyable. The book makes these simple stretches fun.
