Oh, how I loved this book! It is filled with beautiful illustrations, rhyming words, and a rhythm you can't help but read in.

Colorful and bright! This book catches your attention right away. There are bold colors and the little girl is just bursting with energy as they walk through the park. Plus she is adorable and I love her hair! It is nice to see so many multicultural characters in one book. It is just like a real walk in the park.
I always wanted to incite an impromptu dance party on the streets. Growing up on musicals and Disney films will do that to you but this book almost makes it real. The little girl is dancing to the sounds of the world around her. The drummer in the park, the snapping of fingers, and the stomping of feet. The illustrations have fluidity to them and you can almost see the characters dancing to the music. The pure joy of music and dance will set your toes a tapping and itching to dance.
I highly recommend this one, if only for the illustrations. They are delightful and I love the main character! She gets everyone to dance and have fun. Plus it is nice to see a picture book about dancing that does not focus on ballet. There should be more books about just loving the joy of dancing.

The illustrations in the book were beautiful. Not as beautiful as Kadir Nelson's illustrations, but still beautiful. The story was okay and I liked the multi-ethinic vibe. This book could be used in a story time kit that deals with sounds or music.

This is March's Ready to Read selection and it was just a bunch of fun. I love the sound effects and music that add volumes (no pun intended :X) to a relatively simple and sweet story of a girl out in her neighborhood.

An engaging book for younger readers, especially ones interested in creating their own sounds and playing with rhythms. Good to read in a music class.

This is a fun book that I use to teach alliteration and onomatopoeia to 3rd graders. Beautiful, diverse illustrations are a nice addition to the elementary classroom.

Irrepressible heroine is totally feeling herself as she bops down the street on a beautiful day. Will work great in a storyhour full of kids who will want to clap, snap and shake along. -1 star for a scary clown in the background. I don't think he is supposed to be scary, but yeeks.
