Dancing Feet by Lindsey Craig, illustrated by Marc Brown. Get ready for lots of toe tapping and foot slapping, in this rhythmic chorus, with these six dancing creatures. Here is a great example: “Tippity! Tippity! Little black feet! Who is dancing that tippity beat?” As you turn the page, your child will be anxious to see the pictures that reveal ladybugs dancing on tippity feet. Elephant, caterpillar, bear, lizard, and duck all have their own styles of dancing along to the sound effects. They are all written in italics, so kids can shout along. The lively paper collages on hand-painted papers add color to the exciting tale. The author adds dimension and liveliness to this sing-song guessing game. The last pages spring a surprise–kids dressed like one of the animals, demonstrating “Happy, happy dancing feet!” The simple shapes and bright colors make this a perfect choice for sharing with preschoolers. It may even have them dancing! See this book listed in our catalog
