What Folks Say:
“Highly recommended for anyone with young children and those young at heart too.”
~Reedsy
“An innovative use of dance and storytelling for a fun, child-focused activity.”
~Kirkus Reviews
“I LOOOVE it! … And I love the dance parts. And they were sort of tricky but I did it!”
“…is a really fun book. I love the idea of using a story to inspire kids to move their bodies in different ways, and the character of Joey is endearing. I also like how it can help teach kids to talk about stories and characters in new ways, as it encourages them to react and respond to what’s going on in the pages.”
