Here, finally, is the Read & Romp Roundup for January 2012. I was thrilled with the response to my first call for submissions and think we have a great and diverse roundup here. Just what I was hoping for! We have picture books with themes of rhythm and dance, unique ideas for incorporating poetry and picture books into dance and yoga classes, and even a birthday celebration for a beloved author who writes about dance. Hope you enjoy the inaugural roundup!
Amy at Delightful Children's Books shares a list of 10 children's books that entertain, inform, inspire, and broaden children's understanding of dance. Amy also created a YouTube playlist to go along with her post, including performances by Fred Astaire, the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, and more.
Wait until you see what Eric from Happy Birthday Author did to celebrate author Katherine Holab

Hi, Angela. I'm glad you liked the posts and recognized some of the other books. Thanks for participating, and thanks also for sending the link to the activities to go along with Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. We love that one at our house, too!
Fabulous as i don't know any of these books. Use to be a ballet dance and now a grandmother who teaches young children and tries to instill a love of art and movement and reading. cheers
