About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has a case of the wiggles and seems unable to sit still. It is the perfect choice for those high-energy afternoons when physical movement feels like a necessity rather than a choice. This rhythmic story follows a boisterous bunny who jumps, jiggles, and squirms with infectious joy, celebrating the natural impulse to move. Through Michael Rosen's signature repetitive and musical prose, the book validates a child's need for physical expression and self-regulation through play. It is particularly effective for toddlers and preschoolers who are learning to navigate their own energy levels. Rather than asking a child to be still, this book invites them to embrace their active spirit in a positive, confidence-boosting way. It is an ideal read-aloud for ages 2 to 5, offering a shared moment of fun that transforms excess energy into a bonding experience.

Ideal Reader
A high-energy four-year-old who often feels frustrated by instructions to sit still or be quiet. This child needs to see their 'wriggliness' as a joyful strength rather than a behavioral problem. This book can also be a helpful tool for children with ADHD or sensory processing needs, offering a relatable character and validating their experiences.
