From Booklist:

Ages 2-4. The adorable main character of this lively poem has dancing in her bones, hip-hopping in her legs, and shaking in her shoulders. She and a multiethnic cast of friends dance, sing, and clap their way through a park, adding short, easy verses to their rhyme as they go. The very simple watercolor illustrations, with cartoonlike stick figures with dots for eyes, are sure to attract young children. A note at the back of the book offers suggestions for involving youngsters in the activity. Marta Segal
