This feel-good, get-up-and-move story is about breaking out of boundaries, and exploring the get up and go every child has burning within them.

Launch yourself into the colourful world of Can You Dance to the Boogaloo! Creatures pick up instruments, gathering in number and dancing through the pages finishing off with a dancing-on-the-rooftops night scene.

The rhythmical approach sets the pace to the jig and is complemented by the sounds of both the instruments and animals wraparound. Children can also learn the names and sounds of the instruments seen through the pages and join in, in their own way, with the veritable hullabaloo.

Age range: 3-6 years

An exciting children's illustrated book on dance, music, positivity and self-expression
