This adorable little book tells the story of a little mouse who loves to dance but wants a partner. It seems that every animal she approaches has an excuse but there is a happy ending and a very happy mouse too.
This book is fun to read out loud to a child (I read it to my son) especially because you can imagine and try to speak in different voices for all the different animals. The photos are sweet and the book is simply written so it is good to either read to a little one or have them read it themselves. ( )

Little mouse loves to dance, but it is more fun to dance with friends. One by one he asks his friends to dance with him, but they are all too busy moving in different ways. Mouse becomes sad because everyone is busy. When mouse loudly complains that noone wants to dance with him, Owl tells him that he will. Coincidentally, Nightingale is singing in the same tree, so they even have music to dance to. Bright colourful illustrations round out this book.

I like how the book starts with familiar animals (sheep, frog) and progresses on to introduce less familiar animals (sloth, koala) to the reader. Children will not only learn new animals but they will also learn what sound each animal makes and how they get around. Conversations will revolve around the illustrations as well. A great little book for family libraries.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
