Rap a Tap Tap Here's Bojangles-Think of That

Rap A Tap Tap Here's Bojangles-Think of That! by Leo and Diane Dillon
..."He talked with his feet!"
I really liked reading this book mostly because the visually appealing illustrations were eyecatching. This book is about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and his love of tap dancing. This book could be fun for younger grades because there is a repeatable line in the story, "Rap a tap tap-think of that!" That line is on every other page so the kids would probably catch on pretty quickly where it goes, and it would be fun to have the kids interact with the story and have them say that line when you get to the page. I also liked the little biography at the end of the story that told some basic info about Bill Robinson because it's possible most kids have never heard of him and it would be a great time to talk about the arts (i.e. dancing) in the classroom.
