Why read it?
1 author picked Can You Dance Like a Peacock? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because its central theme is to inspire children to explore different kinds of movement. The prompts are all centered around animals, with lots of words that help to describe the animals and how they move.
Words like “stretch,” “waggle,” “march,” and “splash” help children use their imaginations and explore many ways of moving their bodies. The beautiful illustrations by Hannah Abbo will also inspire young readers.
From Connie's list on inspire your little ones to imagine and have fun.
