What reviewers said
"From the opening panels it is clear that this is not a quiet reading book. Much to Buggy's chagrin, Horse loves to dance! The rubber-legged horse hops, leaps, twists, break-dances, and pirouettes across the pages. There's even a John Travolta poseâall before the title page. . . . As Horse says, 'turn off the frown. Start getting down!' Beginning readersâget up, dance, and read!"
"This picture-book sized easy reader manages to effectively portray the interaction between the two while keeping the vocabulary limited. Full-page illustrations with just the characters and minimal accoutrements against colorful backgrounds cleverly enhance the text and set a humorous tone. While grandparents might chuckle at the dance moves from Saturday Night Fever and Flashdance, young ones will enjoy the spirit."
"With Longâs characteristic slapstick humor and simple, Âexpressive characters, this newest pairing is pitch-perfect for his audience...no dance beat Ârequired."
