How many ways does the world dance? This book showed me how the world is beautiful if I only stopped long enough to take note of it. I received this book as a gift when I was ten. The magic of it stays with me still.

CIP summary: " Wearing his special silver shoes, young Joseph sets out to dance with the world." This is a wonderful book with bright colorful watercolor illustrations. A young boy puts on magical silver shoes and spreads happiness around the world as he dances from village to village.

In this book there was a boy who saw a dancing man. He gave the boy his silver shoes, and he danced all around the world. And then he found another boy, and he gave that boy his hat. And then he danced all around the world. I like this book because they were dancing. -by Felicity
