Can You Do This? is a playful, interactive picture book written and illustrated by Megan Roy. The book directly invites children to move their bodies and express themselves freely. Each page illustrates goofy faces and a silly dance that young readers can copy with their classmates and teachers. The written sounds evoke a child's playfulness as he/she make the funny noises. The silly words can trip young readers' tongues as they say them. But the fun is only starting. The next pages introduce unusual situations like pretending to swim like a shark. What do you think kids need to do to become a certified silly kid?
Megan Roy effortlessly transforms simple reading time into reading and moving time for children and grown-ups. The author’s words and illustrations are engaging. The book permits kids to express their silly side in a safe space. The open-ended questions and statements make the book stay fresh and exciting long after the first read. It does what most authors and illustrators overlook: turning reading into a shared, active memory for a child and their classmates. With adults joining the fun, the experience becomes more unforgettable for both adults and children. But the beauty of this book didn’t stop there. The little ones participate in scenarios that need their creative thinking, like imagining the floor turning into lava or making an invisible pizza. For teachers wanting to energize their class, Can You Do This? delivers real, repeatable value that earns a permanent spot on the classroom bookshelf.
