Kids will dance the night away with this classic counting story brought to life by best-selling, Caldecott Honor-Winning illustrator Betsy Lewin.

Mortensen's verse text sets an upbeat rhythm and a jovial tone in the first half of the book, which contrasts nicely with the second. Strong black lines define the characters and their actions in Lewin's graceful watercolors, which illustrate the verses with drama, humor, and style. The artwork shows up beautifully from a distance, making this a good counting book for classroom settings as well as individual reading. Booklist It is an enchanting evening to remember (and a fine reminder that even a primary concept can get dressed up). Kirkus
