Description

With bold paintings and a simple, rhyming text, Caldecott Medalists Leo & Diane Dillon bring young readers a rap a tap tap celebration of dance that will have readers clapping and tapping along.

There once was a man who danced in the street / He brought pleasure and joy to the people he'd greet / He didn't just dance, he made art with his feet / Rap a tap tap--think of that! This simple book for young children has the added bonus of describing the life of a ground-breaking African-American tap dancer. Bill Bojangles Robinson was one of the most popular entertainers of the 1920s-30s. People said he talked with his feet, and in the Dillons' graceful paintings of old New York, he dances from page to page to the tune of a toe-tapping rhyme. Rap a tap tap--think of that!
