I like this book for one on one because the lines in here stand out with glitter, making it perfect for a little one to practice tracing, which is an important precursor to writing. Also, it's great for those tactile people out there! I didn't think about this until I read another review (thanks Sara!) but it would be a great intereactive book in storytime. In her storytime, the kids acted out the different kind of wiggles--might be fun for those days when the group is just one big wiggle! ;-) Also great for those kinesthetic learners. YES, this was amazing for story time. It was great because we used our bodies to act out all the different ways lines can be. We wiggled when the lines wiggled, and made our arms wavey when the lines were wavey, and it was just lovely. Not very much text and no story to speak of, but it's PERFECT for preschool story time. I also loved at the end when it asks to find lines that AREN'T in the book, and the kids all looked around and pointed out lines around the library! So much fun! And the pictures are SO BRIGHT and big and wonderful. Use this book in story time!
What do You think about Lines That Wiggle (2009)?
A cute concept book following lines as they take different shapes.

A lovely book that illustrates all that a simple line can be.
