I Can Blink

I Can Blink (ISBN 0-919964-69-9) is a children's picture book by Frank Asch. It was published in 1985 by Kids Can Press, and printed by Everbest in Hong Kong.

The book consists of a series of simple sentences, with definite parallel structure. Children are encouraged to put their face through a circle cut out of the book, and proceed with the facial actions described.

The book fosters both understanding of animals, of body parts, and of movements.

Plot

Uniquely, the written "plot" starts on the cover, with the phrase "I can blink like an owl." The book continues, encouraging children to sniff like a dog, snap like a turtle, chew like a cow, shake their head like a horse, puff their cheeks like a squirrel, stick out their tongue like a snake, smile like a monkey, scrunch their face like a walrus, and wiggle their nose like a rabbit.

The last page is an image of a flower, which has no associated action or text.

gollark: I think the majority are on here too.
gollark: Not "mostly", it has 34ish members.
gollark: I disagree, mostly.
gollark: After not mentioning this in your campaign, if I remember right.
gollark: I don't know. I don't think it's a significant amount but I don't have metrics on how often:- there actually is something like that going on/obviously visible, and nothing else happening in non-off-topic channels people actually discuss esolangs in- this is likely to make someone who may otherwise be an active member not be (I'd expect this is driven by other things)
