Kitchen Dances

Today I would like to highlight two playful picture books for young ones in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade. These books are fun for parents, librarians, and teachers to share with students.

The theme is dancing at home. Kitchen Dance by Maurie J. Manning is a story of a mom and dad dancing in their kitchen. Their two young children hear sounds from their room, and sneak out to find their parents joyfully dancing together in the kitchen one night. In the end, all four of them are dancing.

Dancin' in the Kitchen (Wendy Gelsanliter and Frank Christian) is also a whimsical tale of a family cooking, dancing, and celebrating together. Marjorie Priceman's illustrations are one of the highlights of this picture book. 

These are great books to share with young kids who simply love dancing informally at home.

Both books can be found used on amazon.com.
