My daughter and I danced along as we read through this book together. It's sure to delight all children of preschool and kindergarten ages. The story is whimsical and imaginative. Because the main character is male, it encourages boys as well as girls to dance!
Each layout consists of a picture on one side and accompanying text and movement suggestions opposite. The photographs of author ballerina are clear and simple. It's awesome that the book also suggests that you and the child to make up your own movements. It’s not necessary to copy the photographs exactly but they are there for ideas. There is so much freedom and creativity involved.
My daughter and I appreciated the photographs and the engaging story. It was full of creative movement and descriptive suggestions to make some movements “soft” and others big and bold. Most of the movements are easy with one challenging movement. All of the movements can be adapted to your child’s ability.
We will definitely be looking into other books written by this author! This is a great way to add movement and creative expression into shared activities with your child, especially during the current pandemic that encourages limited engagement outside the house.
