Author and poet Robert Heidbreder brings children into a word of fun and exciting action words.


With words leaping off the page, Lickety-Split by Robert Heidbreder (Kids Can Press, ISBN 1-55337-710-9) is one book that will keep small children zooming with a newfound love for words. Kids, ages 3 to 7, will see the book’s character clinkity-clank a robot, go thumpity-thump with an elephant, and bouncity-boom in outer space.

All Action, All Words

The action and excitement of words leap off every page, making this a great book to read right before playtime or a trip to the playground. The book’s character is always up to something, whether it’s battling a Viking, wrestling a tornado, or walking a tightrope. The action is so intense that the reader wants to get up and zippity-zoom around the room.

Not a Bedtime Story

Lickety-Split is a must-have addition to any active child’s library. The fun with words will have a young child coming up with his own zany exclamations as he skips, zooms, and zips from one end of the yard to the next.
