PreS-K—Little Mouse loves to dance, but it's not so much fun to dance alone, so he starts looking for a dance partner. Each of the animals Little Mouse asks seems to have something better to do. Little Sheep just wants to jump around (want to see how high?), and Snail just wants to glide. The array of animals include a sloth, a frog, a puppy, a heron, and an elephant. In the end, Little Owl dances with Little Mouse while Nightingale sings a beautiful song. The digital art is bright and cheerful and has an appealing collage effect. The book has a question-and-answer format and a satisfying degree of repetition.
VERDICT A simple and engaging read-aloud, perfect for storytimes to get kids moving around.
