Description
An exuberant picture book that encourages kids to bend, stretch, tumble, and flip! "Quick! Come and see! Somthing fabulous, it's...me!" Meet Gymnastica, a small person with big energy, as they bend and balance, bounce and roll, attempt a cartwheel and a spectacular trapeze flip-out finale. Written in playful rhyming text and with bright and energetic illustrations, this high-spirited picture book is sure to be an irresistible read aloud that inspires kids to embrace the tumbles that come with putting on a perfectly imperfect show.
