A great book for introducing children to basic movement concepts using imagination and stories. The stories are well written, humorous, and allow children to become immersed in a world of playful and fun movements. Landalf and Gerke's introduction, about 16 pages, covers just about everything a good creative movement teacher needs to know about understanding how to teach movement concepts to young children.

This is a must have book for anyone who loves or works with children. Not only are the stories usable within an existing curriculum or creative dance class framework, the book enables all educators to use Ms. Landolf's sequencing to create a movement story of his or her own. I have been using this approach within my own creative movement class (Story in a Box) for two years with great success.

Thank you Helen!

I love this book! As a Dance Educator I use this book alot to add a fun element to my dance classes. The children love it and look forward to a day that we include a movement story in our dance class.

My children love to do the stories in this book. And it can be used with children much older than the 3-6 group.

Great book with great ideas for the movement activities with kids!!!! Kids really pay attention when you use movement stories.
