My little ones age 3 and 4, liked all the pictures of the children at the beginning. Showing lots of different kids like their friends at school and nursery. Overall would definitely recommend, beautiful pictures and kept my kids entertained though out. -- Parent * Toppsta *
It's a lovely story, very relatable, teaches children great values like helping each other and not giving up. And the pictures are happy and colourful. Everything about it makes you feel good. -- Parent * Toppsta *
My daughter loved going down the line of children and getting to know each of their names. It’s brilliantly diverse which celebrates a great community and that dancing is open to everyone. We also talked about each child’s emotions from their facial expressions an body languages so it offered great discussion. […] We hope to see a series of these books with a variety of dances. -- Parent * Toppsta *
Oti starts off her dance class with a warm up and this is something children (and adults) reading can join in with as well. The warm up page has very clear images and instructions of what to do and what comes next. This is a great way for getting children up and moving while not even really realising. Of course, it looks like loads of fun as well. * Me, Him, the Dog and a Baby Blog *
