The book begins by explaining that the many different ways animals move are made possibly by their different shape, size and in some cases unique legs, fins, wings, or tentacles.  The remainder of the books covers walking, leaping, swimming, climbing, flying, rolling, and jetting.  Each mode of movement begins with a 2 page spread illustrated by 1 animal and how it moves.  The following 2 pages show 5 to 6 examples of how other animals accomplish the same movement.  Each animal is accompanied by an explanation using a unique synonym for the described movement.  For example, walking is described with marching, strolling, tiptoeing, and waddling.  Rolling is described as whirling, tumbling, somersaulting, wheeling.  A basic description of each featured animal and its habitat is included at the end of the book.

Flying Frogs and Walking Fish is another winner for Jenkins.  A definite choice to support the NGSS.
