Books like Barnyard Dance
By Sandra Boynton
For the kid who can't sit still when music comes on, this is a book that turns bedtime into a hoedown. Bouncy, musical, foot-stomping fun.
A rambunctious crew of dinosaurs shakes tails and stomps feet through a string of silly dance moves — the Shimmy Shimmy Shake, the Quivery Quake, and a rollicking Cha Cha Cha.
Dinosaurs of every shape and size stomp, wiggle, and boogie their way to a swampy clearing, gathering for one huge, thundering dance party.
A girl named Sally travels to town walking backward and upside down, picking up a silly pig, a silly dog, and other funny friends who join her topsy-turvy parade.
A cheerful taxi driver named Dan cruises through town picking up a band member by member, each new passenger adding fresh sounds and colors to the growing crowd inside his cab.
One lonely hippo calls two more on the phone, and the numbers keep climbing until a houseful of hippopotamuses is throwing an all-night berserk party.
A band of monkeys drums, hums, and dances through a bouncy rhyme, inviting little ones to find their own hands, fingers, and thumbs along the way.
A bright, rhyming romp through a day in the life of birds — from the rooster's dawn crow to the owl's nighttime call — inviting little ones to cheep and tweet along.
A feisty red dinosaur roars his way to the library, gathering a lonesome turtle, a sad owl, and other animal friends along the way — but storytime might finally be his match.
A friendly little pick-up truck greets farm animals along a country road, beeping and honking hello — until he gets stuck in the muck and needs his animal friends to push him out.
When evening falls, a crowd of bats flutters from the rafters to fill a moonlit stadium, watching their own all-stars play a topsy-turvy game of baseball.
A Siamese kitten with an overactive imagination transforms into El Skippito, a mask-and-cape sword-fighter, ready to take on banditos and a bad bumble-beeto to save the day.
