Illustrator Lori Richmond reads her new picture book about a young boy, his energetic puppy, and the friends they encounter on their afternoon walk around town.

About A Hop is Up:

Wiggly, giggly preschoolers will love the action in this picture book with its catchy sequence of movements and directions — hop up, bend down, spin round, jump over — that are endlessly fun! A young boy and his energetic puppy take a walk in their neighborhood, where they encounter and interact with lots of friends along the way!

A hop is up.

A bend is down.

A spin is round

and round

and round.

A jump is over,

from here to there.

A leap repeats

when there’s a pair.

Dempsey’s poetic and playful text is brought to life by Richmond’s rich, kid-friendly illustrations. It all comes together for an inspired story that will have everyone on their feet!
