Synopsis
A spirited, bouncy dog excitedly wiggles his way through each event in the day. After he wiggles out of bed, breakfast is a dancing, prancing feast that ends up comically with pancakes on his head. Afterwards, the whole day is spent gyrating, from wiggling around his shadow, to jiggling in the water with sea life, and even sharking ever so slightly around some touchy polar bears. With mixed media digital art, including charming touches of photography, such as the real pancake on the dog's head and a sweater and hat. By the author of the bestselling picture book DIARY OF A WORM., Rhyming text describes the many ways to wiggle.

Industry Reviews
"[An] energetic read-aloud...."
Publishers Weekly (05/23/2005)
"The real power of this book lies in the fact that it absolutely nails its preschool audience: images, text, and message are perfectly aimed at delighting bouncy youngsters with surprises and laughter, and the experience only gets better with repeated reading--even the adults present will want to shake out a wiggle or two."
Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (07/01/2005)
"Cronin's nonsensical text is rhythmic and buoyant."
School Library Journal (06/01/2005)
