Music, parts of the body, 5 senses, pretty much requires moving around

On a trip through the park with her mother, this girl finds herself loving music. She hears the rhythm coming from the world around her and finds different ways to express herself (dancing, snapping, blinking). In the end, she bursts out dancing and all the children in the park join in.

I think my favorite part of this book was the artwork. I personally really liked the style and think Morrison did an amazing job. I love how you can see movement within the pictures and the text around it.

The story was very simple. A majority of the pages only included one line such as:
“I looked at the rhythm with my eyes.”
“I kept the rhythm with my fingers”
It was just all a little too simple for my taste. I prefer books that are longer that I can use for reading aloud but I think this would be a nice book to include in the classroom library. You could also use this book to get your kids up and moving by having them repeat the action that is done in the book.
