Synopsis:
"1 kangaroo jump is the same distance as 2 ringtailed lemur leaps..."
Have you ever wondered just how far animals can jump? These fun comparisons explain it all--from tiny grasshopper hurdles and coyote vaults to the best pouncer of all! 

Understanding numbers and distance is easy with this fun book of animal facts! Starting with a single kangaroo, Alison Limentani's cool illustrations capture a variety of creatures leaping--and reveal just how many jumps it would take each one to cover the same ground. Four bunny hops = 5 frog bounces = 6 goat skips. But none of the animals can match the world-record-holding snow leopard! 
Our Thoughts:

This fun counting book poses the question, "How far can a kangaroo jump?" and then counts up to ten using more jumps, leaps, and bounds from other animals to make up the same distance. 

With bright and bold backgrounds, this simple but educational picture book teaches little ones to count and learn distance, as well as synonyms for 'jump.'

The last page of the book shares the distance each animal can jump based on the upper range of the average adult animal of each species as well as a handy 'scale ruler' that shows where each animal lands compared to the others.
