Editorial Reviews

"If you appreciate dance, you will adore this book. This rhyming story bursting with vibrant, brilliant illustrations teaches kids of the *many* incredible forms of dance."

—@booksgrowminds

" From Brazilian samba to Ukraine Hopak dancing, these movements translate surprisingly well into colorful, exuberant illustrations that bring different dances to life, making for an informative, inviting survey."

—Midwest Book Review

"Dance is a lively exploration of culturally significant dances from around the world."

—YA Books Central

"Children of various races, cultures, genders, and abilities (one uses a wheelchair) perform various dances from around the world... The book ends with two pages containing a paragraph and photo of each dance, which makes this a great choice for classrooms where dance may be part of the curriculum."

—Association of California Libraries

"A bouncy rhyming text combines with exuberant illustrations as readers swing around the world hearing about different dances and their countries of origin."

—Puget Sound Council for Reviewing Children's and Young Adult Literature
