Fun Board Books for Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers

The books in the Kid Moves three-part series are not dance books per se, but are about kids moving and being active. There is one each for "baby," "toddler," and "preschooler."

The books are not stories but rather a series of simple poses or actions, such as "tree move" and "ball move." 

What I like best about these books are the fun images of children of the actual age of the target audience. This is a harder detail to find in many books about dance and movement – are the photos for children really of children, or rather adults? 

These books could be used in a variety of ways:

• They make a great baby gift. I would love to see these books in little ones' hands. Reading the book and exploring the actions is a beautiful parent/child activity.
• The books would be a nice addition to a parent/child dance class. Adding simple books as springboard activities in a class is a nice way to add visual learning and word development.
• Kid Moves books would be great to have on the bookshelf or in a book bin at a daycare or preschool. I am a big proponent of dance and movement books as a regular component of preschool classrooms. 

These three books can be purchased on the Kid Moves website:

As I finish this posting, my three year old son just said, "Can we please read this book and do some moves to music?" Need I write more?
