[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I used this book as part of a storytime for 2-year olds. I didn't read the book, just showed some pictures to give them some idea about the diversity and universality of dance (not using those words, of course!). It was an excellent book for that purpose because of the large photographs that fill most of each page.

This book discusses all different types of dancing that happens around the world, and in different cultures everywhere. People can dance alone, with a friend, or in big groups. Even people that need wheelchairs can dance. This is an awesome book about inclusion and would teach a classroom about so many different types of dance that even I didn't know about! Super cool!
