Churchill, V. Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball. Illustrated by Charles Fuge. Sterling, 2001. 24 pages. BB $2.65. ISBN 978-1402708701. Summary Sometimes I like to curl up in a ball So no one can see me because I'm so small. Little wombat spends a day doing favorite things--what could they be? Are they your favorites, too? Let's look and see! He especially enjoys walking around and around, and doing a pigeon step till he falls down. Or sticking out his pink tongue--and pulling funny faces (now that can be fun)! And maybe he'll jump just as high as he can, and see how much noise he will make when he lands. But when the day ends and the sun starts to fall...he goes back home to mama and curls into a ball. Good night! Age Range: 2-5 years Review This whimsical nature-filled board book is a great pick for young readers. Fuge's bright illustrations are sure to elicit giggles of amusement and delight, and Churchill's text is just the right mix of sweet and silly. The perfect bedtime story for active toddlers! Themes Animals, Family Love, Nature, Bedtime Application If Librarians use this title for storytime, they can ask young listeners to follow along and act like little wombat, rolling into a ball, being a tree, pigeon stepping till they fall down, and best of all making super silly faces!
