Why read it?

1 author picked How Do You Dance? as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the variety of movement words in this book that offer children so many ideas about how to dance and what to dance about. It encourages children to dance however they want and offers playful prompts like emotions (dance because you’re happy or sad), different body parts (dance with your face or your fingers), and different places (dance at the bus stop!).

This book has colorful and fun illustrations by the author to enhance the lively movement ideas.
