Thanks to the wonderful people at ABRAMS books, I am giving away 2 children's books that will encourage your little one to get up and dance! Here is a little bit about each book:
By Stephen Harris and Nina Rycroft, illustrated by Nina Rycroft
About the book
In this colorfully and flamboyantly illustrated large-format alphabet book, animals from around the globe have gathered for a dance contest in the world-famous Tower Ballroom. Who will win? The camels dancing the conga? The flamingos dancing flamenco? Or the penguins doing the polka? And what are those mischievous monkeys up to? Turns out they’ve stolen the band’s instruments—twenty-six in all! Once the reader finds all of them hidden within the artwork, the grand finale can begin.
Ballroom Bonanza is an ideal primer to teach children about some of the most popular styles of dance, while offering a look at musical instruments to inspire young Mozarts—all while helping teach ABCs to aspiring readers and writers. By Cheryl Willis Hudson, illustrated by Eric Velasquez
About the book
A young narrator tells readers about her friend Maya, who absolutely loves to dance. In this rhyming picture book, Maya attends a lively dance class. She can’t get enough of dance: the costumes, the grand entrances, the pirouettes, the music, the final bow, and the magic of recitals. She even loves the hard work of practice. But why doesn’t her friend dance, too?
The pages themselves seem to dance, thanks to the charming verse of Cheryl Willis Hudson and the vibrant colors and motion of Eric Velasquez’s paintings.

The song that makes me want to jump up and dance is from the movie Madagascar! I'm not sure what the "real" name is, but it goes ... "I like to move it, move it!"
