Review

A charming animal story with a strong 'keep on trying' message.
Highly recommended to 5 - 7year olds.

There are so many aspects to this book that I enjoyed. But, best of all, is the fact it's very, very different! It's not just a sweet story for young children, it's also got a strong 'keep on trying' message and - it's a dance book! The author, working with the illustrator, has designed a book in which dance movements and stretching is cleverly integrated into the telling of the story. And that is very much its strength.
Now, to the plot. The story follows a very sweet cat that has a crooked tail. At first, it's all very embarrassing for her and she sort of keeps herself to herself. But, as she grows up, and with a little help from her cat pals, she's soon trying to do all the fun things the other cats do; climbing and jumping, twisting and turning - you, know, cat stuff! And, to her surprise and delight, she discovers she's just as good and just as bad as the other cats.
I must say, this is a charming story helped along by the wonderful artwork of the illustrator, Olha Tkachenko. In terms of the writing style and vocabulary, I suspect it would work well with the target readership of 5 to 7 year olds. Parents will also find it delightful, particularly the story's message of never giving up and being supportive of others. And, of course, if you happen to be interested in dance or want to find new ways of stretching and working out, this book is perfect.
With the animal story spot on, and superbly supported by the colorful drawings, I'm happy to recommend this to any parent looking for a fun way of introducing dance to a child. I suspect a school library would also love to have it on the bookshelf.
A Wishing Shelf Review

Product Description

Miss Merida Brown thinks her tail hinders her abilities, but with help from a friend, she proves herself wrong. This charming story of persistence and self-acceptance highlights the value of practice, friendship, and a good attitude.
Ballerina Konora joins each page with movement inspiration. Three books in one: readers can enjoy the beautiful illustrations, act out the story in their own way, or follow Konora's suggestions, designed by an award-winning dance teacher to improve body coordination and explore dance fundamentals.
This Dance-It-Out! story is ideal for ages 5-7 or kids who have had success with other books in the series.
