Got this for 4 year old Grandsons and they loved it. Read it over and over. Nothing, but nothing can stop Annabelle from tapping, not even the entire town, even though they try. Annabelle can tap wearing shoes, boots or, gasp, coins taped to her feet. She dances through everything including snakes. Young kids, dancers or not, will love this adorable book and hopefully learn to do what they love to do most.
This was a very cute story. I really love the illustrations - especially how Anabelle's dresses are drawn! The story has a funny and happy ending to it. Kids will hopefully learn from Annabelle. She's always happy and doing what she likes best no matter what the problem. That's being a good role model. I recommend this book to kids 5+!NOTE- I purchased this book at an arts festival the author was at.
I got this book to read/interact with to my dance classes--the older kids loved it as much as the little ones! This does have some big words that I had to help them sound out but they all loved the story.
