Crayon-bright digital illustrations show a succession of animals celebrating movement by waving hands, shrugging shoulders, hugging, etc. The focus shifts to how loved each animal child is by its adult counterpart. Repeated words for each action hint at the rhythms in a downloadable song. The message is as saccharine as the title. Instructions for doing the "yummy dance" are included.
