Baby Dance
Up and down, to and fro, coo and crow baby, there you go. Up to the ceiling, down to the ground, backward and forward, round and round ... All babies love to be lifted, twirled and held in loving arms. Now a rhythmic poem by nineteenth century poet Anne Taylor makes a delightful board book perfect for baby and parent to share. Marjorie van Heerden has captured the energy and joy of this playful text in vivd pastel illustrations full of the soft, gentle motion of dance. For babies who are responding to music and movement, here's a playful poem that has father and child dancing lovingly across the pages.

Paternal Love
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This is a lovely book about a loving father playing with his infant daughter. The delightful pictures and the expressions on the faces of the characters are sure to charm readers of all ages. Get "Pretty Brown Face" by Andrea Davis Pinkney to go with this treat.
Baby loves the colors

Our daughter has loved this book since we got it for her for Christmas. The illustrations really are bold, and my 9 month old always likes to look at this book. The pages are of course durable, and it is simple, quick reading for a tired mommy/daddy. I also like it because it is about a baby's special time with daddy. UPDATE: our daughter is 18 months, and still loves the book...One thing I realized, you can "sing" the book with the music of "Hush little baby". I didn't know that but maybe some other people did.
Beautiful illustrations and whirling-twirling text!

My daughter (18 months) loves this book and its vibrant illustrations. I read the simple text with rolling excitement and she follows the dancing baby right to the end. Very simple and very sweet.
Brings smiles and glee

My seven month old lights up every time we read Baby Dance. She delights in the illustrations and "talks" along with the words. This is definitely her favorite book.
A hit with us both

My 11-month-old loves this book because of the short, rhythmic lines, the colorful pictures, the easily-identified cat, and because her father dances with her just as the father in the book does. I love it because it's short, catchy, and I can read it fifteen times in a row without going crazy.
