Line up for this fascinating exploration of animal behavior from an award-winning author-illustrator!

Much like humans, many animals line up for a variety of reasons. Rather than forming lines for the school bus or recess, the animals featured in Susan Stockdale’s book form lines for
  • safety: baby Mallard ducklings follow their mother to the water for their first swim
  • warmth: turtles climb into a stacked line for a better share of the sun’s rays
  • navigation: Arctic wolves follow the prints in the snow left by the pack leader
  • food: ants line up to follow the scent of their leader to food and safety
  • travel: pink flamingos form a line to reduce wind resistance and fly more efficiently
 Featuring birds, crustaceans, fish, insects, mammals, and reptiles from around the world, Line Up is a cozy and comforting book that reminds us of our similarities while illuminating some specific, distinctive behaviors.
"[A] jolly rhyming exploration of animal queues. . . . Upbeat narration directs and educates. . . . [A] fun- and fact-filled creature parade."—Publishers Weekly

"Eye-catching and engaging . . . . A perfect STEM read-aloud."—Booklist

"The rhyme and rhythm make this a pleasure to read aloud. . . . Another remarkable reminder of nature’s wonders."—Kirkus Reviews
