Gallop, Hop and Stomp!

In Gallop, Hop and Stomp!, young viewers join Flip, Tumble, and Twist--the adorable Monkeydoos--on a jungle adventure that will get them moving. Original songs are introduced by this trio of slickly animated 3-D monkeys and an adult host, who demonstrates the motions, before the monkeys “join” live-action sets featuring active children (often accompanied by footage of the animal being mimicked). Kids will flap their wings like tiny hummingbirds, stomp like big elephants, roll like coconuts, and even swat furiously at bugs. Some of the funny, catchy songs (in a variety of musical styles) feature multiple actions, adding great motor and coordination skills practice to the overall solid exercise regimen. Invigorating and more fun than a barrelful of CGI monkeys, this is recommended. Aud: K, P. (E. Gieschen)
