Product Description
Do you like to boogie? Bella Wishes presents a belly-dancing hippopotamus who dances from page to page for early learning reading. It also contains a CD in the back with the theme song and book narration (for read-along learning). The book launches the Bella Wishes/Pink Lotus project, the goal of which is for young girls to discover belly-dancing as one great exercise activity, as a way to have fun and learn to be comfortable in the skin they're in.
