Editorial Reviews

Review
The bold illustrations feature an attractive young girl and her baby brother, who is watching and imitating from his playpen. She jumps, twists, shakes and rolls and spins around in time to the music coming from the radio. It's a nice addition to collections that need board books featuring African Americans or for anyone interested in broadening children's view of society. The series consists of I Smell Honey, Pretty Brown Face, Shake Shake Shake, and Watch Me Dance. (Children's Literature )

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and has fun actions, August 1, 2001

By A Customer

This book is about a girl showing her little brother how to dance. The text is a poem, with a fun, dance-like rhythm. For example,

"I stomp my feet. I clap my hands. Arms up, arms down, I spin around."

A child can imitate the actions, and expand on them with their own creativity. The colors are vibrant and the artwork is beautiful. I like the family context also, because it is modeling an older sibling teaching a younger one.

My daughter loves this book. She tries to do the dance moves as I read each page.
