Absolutely delightful. The kids can't help squeeling with glee over the characters. Every page is a delicious surprise that dances with color and sprightly munchkins. The words are rhymy, rythmic,and full of fun. It has an inspirational tone that goes down easily. The kids will read it with you over and over.

The collaborative effort of authors Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers, and illustrators Buddy Jackson and Karinne Caulkins, I Hope You Dance! is an enthusiastically energetic picture book featuring exaggerated, contrasting color illustrations and off-the-wall style text. Sheer exuberance erupts from the pages celebrating the joy of movement and life, in this impressive and upbeat rhyming read for young folks.

This book has made such an impact on me and my ballet students. I would highly recommend it to anyone- dancer or not. The use of language is very stimulating to the mind, young or old, and the attitude of the writers is just joy. I found it in my doctor's office and took it from the young patients section to the adult section and within 5 minutes someone well past their prime was reading it and smiling.....
