Wiggle Waggle

Jonathan London. Red Wagon Books, $5.95 (22pp) ISBN 978-0-15-216588-8

Three books by Jonathan London, illus. by Michael Rex, commemorating everyday actions, cater to the littlest hands. Wiggle Waggle makes music out of the simplest animal actions. ""How does a duck walk? Wiggle waggle, wiggle, waggle."" The question repeats throughout, each time substituting a different creature. Snuggle Wuggle asks how animals hug; Crunch Munch is an homage to eating. (Mar.)
