This delightful retelling of a legend is imaginative and fun. The illustrations will tickle the funny bone of any child. Megan Lloyd's pictures are filled with fun things to see. What child wouldn't be thrilled to find the raccoon hiding behind a tree for example.
A mishap puts Davy Crockett in competition with the boys of the valley who had all come to woo the fair Miss Sally Ann Thunder Ann Whirlwind. In a dance off to end all dance offs Davy shows a talent yet to be seen. Davy's reason for dancing is unique and the outcome is not what he had planned when he came to the party.
The language of this book will have children giggling as they try to repeat words like they have never heard before. It is sure to set their feet to tapping and some may even get up and dance.
This book is sure to be read again and again.

As a child i used to love board books. Their picture used to take me to a different world. I miss those times.
