Tatsuhide Matsuoka, illustrated by Tatsuhide Matsuoka
A frog jumps, followed by eight more creatures. The book watches each animal to see whether it can do the same, contrasting subjects that are still with those that rise into the air. A grasshopper and rabbit also jump, while a snail may not. The repeated action turns the animal sequence into a question about movement and what different creatures can do.
