Quick come and see, it is time for something spectacular! Gymnastica Fantastica is the superest and stretchiest kid around. They can bend and balance this way and that, bouncing so high that they reach the sky. With balls, hoops and ribbons they twirl and twist, then running and leaping never stopping to rest. Soon it is time for the grand finale, a flip and a flourish then take the applause. Show’s over, until next time… Full of energy and colour, Gymnastica Fantastic! celebrates performance, creativity and freedom of expression as a young gymnast explores movement, their body and practices new skills. Lively rhyming text, as bouncy and exuberant as the protagonist, is perfect for reading aloud and will encourage active participation as little ones join in with twisting and twirling, rolling and running, swinging and sliding, bending and balancing, leaping and cartwheeling. Watching a child embrace a new passion and fully throw themselves into their craft is special; enthusiasm and the sheer joy found in doing what you love explode from the pages. Showcasing all of the best bits of childhood, there are also valuable messages around embracing minor setbacks and failures and the importance of working hard.
Own routines and shows are sure to follow with cries of, ‘Come quick and see,’ falling on the ears of family and friends. Recommended for 3+. With huge thanks to Hachette and Lothian for the copy I received in exchange for an honest review.
